Obviously tomorrow the rest of today tomorrow 60 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: about finishing touches when it comes to the game plan 61 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: and really locking in and talking about owning all those details. 62 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: But that's where his focus is. 63 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: He tackles Jack and Kim. Obviously Kim no designation, but 64 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: just where where where? How did you see that? Feel 65 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: like they kind of went through the week. 66 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Cam obviously came out okay, and you know, no 67 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: injury designation there obviously with Jack is. 68 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 4: Continuing to to to. 69 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: Push it and which I appreciate about him, and we'll 70 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: see where it goes. It's just not ready to make 71 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: that ruling just yet. 72 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 10: You can't control it. 73 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 11: But just the tackle situation in general this year, that 74 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 11: the constant injuries you've had at that position unchallenging, hasn't 75 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 11: been weekend and week out, you know, trying to to 76 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 11: prepare and then also at the same time you go 77 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 11: into games and you know you're losing players. 78 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 12: In the game too. 79 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: It's part of the game. Injuries are a part of 80 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: the game. 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: Nothing that we like about that, but that's our job 82 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: as coaches to see who's available and get him ready 83 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: to play. 84 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 6: So, David, how much do you think it will help 85 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 6: schedule to have him back with no injury status and 86 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 6: be ready to go. 87 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, obviously Dave's a big part of of 88 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: who we are, what we do, and and so it's 89 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: good having him back out there. Good to have his 90 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: energy back out there, and you know, looking forward to 91 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: obviously having him uh feel like himself. And then as 92 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: you know, tight ends for a quarterback are a great 93 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: sense of security, if you will. So I think we 94 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: have a bunch of guys that that can affect the game. 95 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 13: That is that is that need something he's just gonna 96 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 13: have to manage for the rest of the year. 97 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think Dave's over the course of his 98 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: career has shown to always play through some unique injuries. 99 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: But but that knee, certainly he's uh he's a he's 100 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: a warrior. 101 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 8: A lot, Kevin. When you have a new quarterback, is 102 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 8: the prep week different. 103 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 4: For the for me or for you? For just the 104 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 4: energy of the team. I think our guys. 105 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: Really focus on on the process and the structure and 106 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: the meeting and the walkthroughs. And you know, I think 107 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: I mentioned to you guys before what we trust all 108 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: of our guys. If you're up on game day, we 109 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: trust you to go do your job. And sometimes it's 110 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: the backup tackle, and sometimes it's the backup quarterback, or 111 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: sometimes it's a corner that goes with whatever the position is. 112 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: We trust our guys, and we really keep our focus 113 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: on the work week. And I think that's the most 114 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: important thing. I think that's the best thing you can 115 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: do as a player as a coach, is just keep 116 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: your focus on what's important, which is all of us 117 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 2: owning our role and doing our job. 118 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 4: This is the best miles we've ever played. 119 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 2: Probably unfair for me to say I've had a front 120 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: row seat to it all. I think, yeah, the level 121 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: at which he's playing is impressive, but I don't Yeah, 122 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: I do think there's more there. I think, like we've 123 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: talked about over the years with Miles, like, pay attention 124 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: to how he plays the run, pay attention to the 125 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: tackles for loss. I think sacks gets so much attention 126 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: in our world, in our football world, and duly, you 127 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: know that's fine because they're important. But affecting the game 128 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: in a variety of ways is so important. So just 129 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: pressuring the quarterback, harassing a quarterback, making life hard on 130 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 2: a quarterback, but also playing the run, playing physical against 131 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: the run, getting tackles for loss, taking on a double 132 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: team so your teammate can make a play. 133 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: So listen. 134 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: The stats are what they are, and it's it's it's 135 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: you know, so impressive. But the impact on the game 136 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: on a down to down basis, I think is what 137 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 2: is probably might be overlooked. 138 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 4: But by some of the stats. 139 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 13: Do you think he's all that said, do you think 140 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 13: he's got an eight sac game in it? 141 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: I hope so, Tom, it'd be a good, good game 142 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: to start that what is the most in a game? 143 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 4: Oh so yeah, but you. 144 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 10: Can even consider that, I mean that potentially the guy. 145 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 4: Could do it. 146 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 14: Yeah. 147 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: I don't think we go into games, or Miles goes 148 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: into games trying to hit a number. That's I think 149 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: he goes into a game trying to do his job 150 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: and affect the game in any way he can. And 151 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: obviously he has had some games here where there's been 152 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: multiple sacks and that's obviously finishing the pressure with taking 153 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: the quarterback down. But we look at it at that 154 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: play to play basis what he's doing to affect every 155 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: single down, and again, the ability to play the run 156 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: should not be overlooked. 157 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 6: So you mentioned that is really focused on the game 158 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 6: plan on what he has to do. Have you guys 159 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 6: addressed the notion that there could be a lot kind 160 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 6: of a circus atmosphere with him starting his first game 161 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 6: and all the things that come. 162 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 4: Along with that. 163 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Obviously, conversations that I have with Shador i'll keep private. 164 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: But Chador is just like all of our guys in 165 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: that he has a job to do. He wants to 166 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: be there for his teammates and do his job. Everything else, 167 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: you know, doesn't really factor into how we go about 168 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: our business. 169 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 10: Hand out compliments all that often. Yesterday though, he had 170 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 10: mentioned that Carson as a lookie has you know, picked 171 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 10: up some things in the game that it took ray 172 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 10: Lewis three seasons into his career to get just from 173 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 10: your perspective, what has made Carson so good so fast 174 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 10: and early on in his career, where those intricate details 175 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 10: of the game he has been able to, you know, 176 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 10: pick up. 177 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: It's interesting because from day one he's been making plays 178 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: on the practice on the practice field, and that's sometimes 179 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: it's not that hard. 180 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 4: You just kind of watch what's happening on the field. 181 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: And when a linebacker in off season program is showing up, 182 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: that typically means this guy's a pretty good player because 183 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: it's hard to there's no tackling, there's no run plays 184 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 2: of that type of thing. But immediately it was clear 185 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: that he had a great handle on the x's and 186 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: o's of football, the cerebral nature of football. And obviously, 187 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 2: when you're playing that middle linebacker position, you are in 188 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: the middle of the nerve center and you're running the 189 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: show quote unquote, So to be able to get that 190 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: right off the bat, I think is a testament to 191 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 2: the young man. I think it's a testament to coach 192 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: Tarboro I think does an amazing job with our young 193 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 2: guys and our veterans. And then the physical aspect of 194 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: this of just running, hitting, tackling, intercepting the ball. Those 195 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: are all things that we saw from the jump with him. 196 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 2: Has certainly carried over into this season. 197 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 5: For granted, but when you see Miles, you know he 198 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 5: passed Regio at a couple of weeks, he would passed 199 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 5: LT last week. 200 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 8: He's diving what you did for something. 201 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 5: Like do you ever take a step back and think 202 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 5: how special it is for you to get to coach 203 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 5: a guy that's in. 204 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 7: That upper restaurant. 205 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: Well, there's time to reflect. So now it's not necessarily 206 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: the time to reflect on that. 207 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 4: Now. 208 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: Do I marvel at his skill? Yes, you know, and 209 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: I marvel at it in practice. There's been many a 210 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: practice that he's wand and that's uh, when he's practicing 211 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 2: versus the Browns. That's when he's practicing practicing against another 212 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: team like we do in training camp, So we get 213 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: to see it day in and day out, even in 214 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: those settings. But yeah, probably not fair to reflect too 215 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: much right now, other than to say, uh, you know, 216 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 2: he's he's a great player for us. Uh, he's a 217 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: great He's a leader for us that that we follow 218 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 2: and we're counting on him. 219 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 15: That's on the offense. I think the Raiders are second 220 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 15: in yards could carry. Uh, and of course the field 221 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 15: gets candid, you know, as to go down. So what's 222 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 15: the key there to you know, getting into. 223 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: The team zone in the in the red zone, you're 224 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 2: saying key for our offense. Yeah, you know, it's a 225 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: very it's a good defense. It's a very good run defense. 226 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 4: Uh. 227 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: It's it's the scheme. It's a combination of scheming players. 228 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: I think they do a really nice job with the 229 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: things that they're doing from a front standpoint. 230 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 8: Uh. 231 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 4: And then just the players that they have. 232 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: The linebackers can run, there's physical defensive lineman. Obviously Max 233 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: Crosby can show up anywhere and has the ability to 234 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 2: beat any block whether the blocker has leverage on him 235 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: or not. So we have to identify their fronts and 236 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 2: do a great job in that type of way because 237 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 2: they play so many different looks for you. 238 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, it is. 239 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 2: A physical defensive line, physical group of linebackers that we 240 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: have to match that physicality. 241 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 4: Okay, thanks guys. 242 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 12: Up next. 243 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: Tight Ends coach Christian Jones talked about the rookie season 244 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: of Harold Fann and Junior to this point. 245 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 6: Room and then also the play that he made to 246 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 6: Harold there to. 247 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 12: Start off the team. 248 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think everything that we have to do with 249 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 16: the offense is our job. So no matter who's throwing 250 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 16: the ball, we got to make sure we're open, we're 251 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 16: blocking the right people, we're doing the right things, and 252 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 16: that's the best thing we can do to support the quarterback, 253 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 16: whoever's in there. And addressing the past that Harold kind 254 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 16: of caught late. You know, we had a look that 255 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 16: called it earlier in the game, kind of wanted to 256 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 16: come back to it. He stuck with it, found Harold 257 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 16: deep and you know, it was a great route from Harold, 258 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 16: great time from Schadur, and it ended up being an 259 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 16: exposed to play to give us an opportunity to win 260 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 16: the game. So it's just being in tune to the 261 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 16: game plan, which you did a good job of doing, 262 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 16: and being prepared for that play. 263 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,599 Speaker 4: When it was when his number was called again, it 264 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 4: was a good execution. 265 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 9: Talked a lot about Herold's versatility, but even on that play, 266 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 9: like like you said, you ran it before, and I 267 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 9: think Isaiah was the one that ran the incut, Like 268 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 9: how does that come together? Maybe like on the on 269 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 9: like in between the break or you're like, Okay, we're 270 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 9: gonna run a game, but we're gonna put Harold, and 271 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 9: do you to kind of go to him and say 272 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 9: that we're gonna put you there? 273 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 8: And just what does that say. 274 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 9: About his versatility and his ability to kind of run 275 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 9: whatever type of route you need from wherever. 276 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 16: I would say what speaks to his versatility probably more 277 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 16: than that, is the fact that probably in that game 278 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 16: he lined up at every spot he could have lined up, 279 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 16: and I'm atty sure you lined up in a tight 280 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 16: ened spot, full back spot, and a receiver spot like he's. 281 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 16: He's asked to block and catch passes from all those spots. 282 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 16: And it's not to mean people in the league that 283 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 16: can do that. So when you have somebody that you 284 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 16: can be kind confident that they're going to go do 285 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 16: something effective against a nickel personnel, there's running or blocking, 286 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 16: and then also be effective versus a base defense, whether 287 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 16: it's running or running a route, or catching the ball 288 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 16: or blocking like that. That's what gives you versatility, That's 289 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 16: what helps you set up your offense for success. So 290 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 16: I would say it's just everything he does outside of 291 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 16: those big plays. Now, those big plays are great, but 292 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 16: you know, we always talk about being willing and able 293 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 16: in this offense, and he's willing and able to block 294 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 16: and that helps us create ways for him to get 295 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 16: open in the past game. 296 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 3: So I mean you seen Harold, I mean how do different? 297 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: I mean the growth with him? Is it you know 298 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 3: each week? How is it noticeable week by week or 299 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 3: how where do you what do you see? Maybe the 300 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 3: growth most pronounced for it. 301 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 16: I think it's just he's more and more able to 302 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 16: digest and absorb the not only our offensive information, what 303 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 16: players are running, how we're planning to attack a defense, 304 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 16: but also being able to understand the looks that he 305 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 16: gets from a defense, understand what to anticipate when he 306 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 16: lines up against defenses in different areas and situations. Because 307 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 16: I think that's the biggest change versus you know, way 308 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 16: in college versus the pros, it's how many looks do 309 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 16: you get? How many defensive coverages can you get, how 310 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 16: many fronts do you get? You know, there's a lot 311 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 16: more variation in what the defense defenses play against you, 312 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 16: and I think it's just being in tuned to all 313 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 16: of that and also your assignments on top of that, 314 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 16: and you also weigh in him being in different spots 315 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 16: on every play, So we're asking a lot of him 316 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 16: regarding run blocking and pass catching, and I think he's 317 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 16: done a good job, you know, just being able to 318 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 16: manage all of that and be able to be effective 319 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 16: in his assignments. 320 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 13: What challenges of that position with a guy like Carol 321 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 13: when he first gets here, do you just kind of 322 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 13: throw everything at him and see what he can handle? 323 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 7: These slow play like how do you kind of how 324 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 7: did you approach that with him? 325 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 8: At first? We got to slow play it. 326 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 16: You kind of give him a chance to understand the word, 327 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 16: it's the motions, what everything means. 328 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 8: And then as you go. 329 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 4: You wrap it up. You keep them going. 330 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 16: You you push them and you make sure they you 331 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 16: kind of set the tone earlier, like hey, you're gonna 332 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 16: be moving around a lot, and you show them what 333 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 16: you're planning on doing with them, and then you just 334 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 16: continue to grow as they can as they can do it, 335 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 16: you continue to grow. And he's shown a lot very 336 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 16: early that he's able to do those things. And so 337 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 16: this guy's the limit for what we were able to 338 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 16: do with him.

And that's what we try to do, 361 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 16: is keep him locked in, keep going on all of them, 362 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 16: keep going over all the players we could be running okay, 363 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 16: and make sure that we know what's happening in every area, 364 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 16: like you approaching that the same way no matter what. 365 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 7: So yeah, sure you're tight in coming to play there 366 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 7: helping out. 367 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 5: So just what kind of challenge his head and how important. 368 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 7: Is it you guys would slow him down? 369 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean he is a very effective player, and 370 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 16: I think it's what's most effective about him is that 371 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 16: he plays very hard. And when you play a guy 372 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 16: that plays as hard as he does and they're the 373 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 16: best player on one of the better players on their team, 374 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 16: that that lifts everybody else up in their level of effort. 375 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 16: So we're playing, we're going in and playing against the 376 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 16: defense that plays really hard, and he leads the way 377 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 16: with that, and our job is getting the way, slow 378 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 16: him down and doing everything we can to help our 379 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 16: team win the game. So he's really good with his hands. 380 00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 16: He does a great job with his hands and getting 381 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 16: off black He's very good at that. He's explosive, he's 382 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,239 Speaker 16: quick twitch, he's very savvy. He's he's played the game 383 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 16: a long enough time to be able to spot things 384 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 16: that offense is trying to do. So it's really just 385 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 16: being under control, trying to stay connected as long as 386 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 16: we can and be just a nuisance. Like the more 387 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 16: frustrated we can make him, the better off we all are, 388 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 16: So that's what we're gonna try to do. 389 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 12: I know that. 390 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 8: Eatnt coat, you're not. 391 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 3: You don't have to worry about him specifically because he's 392 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 3: he's on their offense. But when you look at a 393 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 3: guy like brock Bauers, just what makes him special, what 394 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 3: makes him like no other tight end in the league. 395 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 16: I mean I watched him in his freshman year. He 396 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 16: is in Georgia and then there's gonna be a dog. 397 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 16: So it's it's great to see what he's doing now. 398 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 16: I think, what's you know, it's it's even funny, like 399 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 16: I would watch some of his target tapes from the 400 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 16: last year with Harold to kind of show him some 401 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 16: of the things that teams are doing, how to run 402 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 16: certain routes, things that we're matching up with on him. 403 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 16: And I mean, he's explosive, he catches the ball really well, 404 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 16: he knows get he knows how to get open, and 405 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 16: he knows when to use his speed versus his size 406 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 16: right Like he understands the matchup. When can I ricochet 407 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 16: off of a guy? When I use my power to 408 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 16: move a guy off of me? And when am I 409 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 16: just faster? And when can I just run away. And 410 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 16: I think what he really is good at, too, is 411 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 16: he's effective after the catch. He catches the ball, he 412 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 16: gets north and south, he makes people miss. But any 413 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 16: yards that he can gain, he's gonna gain. And I 414 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 16: think that's how you show up, you know, you're like, 415 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 16: oh wow, how does this guy have so many yards? 416 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 16: So many catches? And that's how it pops up. And 417 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 16: he's efficient, doesn't drop the ball very often. He just 418 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 16: he's consistent. And I think that's when you play at 419 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 16: a high level consistently, it's usually how you end up 420 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 16: being a good player. 421 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 6: Say, the the passing game has has looked at this 422 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 6: this week with Chador out there practicing and getting his 423 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 6: first reps. 424 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 16: With the how's it looking, Yeah, I think we've done 425 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 16: a good job. It's been a good week of practice. 426 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 16: I think our Titans have been effective. Our Titans have 427 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 16: been effective and doing our job right and making sure 428 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 16: that we're not causing any issues for him in his 429 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 16: thought process and how he processes it looks. So everybody's 430 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 16: been out there doing a job. It's been a good 431 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 16: week of practice, you know, and now we got to 432 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 16: out there next to Kittle. 433 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: Sendon linebackers, coach Jason Tarbor piled on praise to Carson 434 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: Swessinger and what's been a big week for the young 435 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: man out of UCLA. 436 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 17: Jim Schwartz has a pretty high praise for Carson, saying 437 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 17: that he just his command of the field is something 438 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 17: that it even took, like like Ray Lewis, who he 439 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 17: worked with early in. 440 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 7: His career of three years to develop. 441 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 17: Just what can you say about you know, him being 442 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 17: prepared already to obviously a Hall of Famer, And what 443 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 17: you notice about his play through ten games? 444 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 18: Well, first what I think what's great about Carson? And 445 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 18: he answered Nathan and our radio crew with they asked 446 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 18: him what his favorite play he made, and he said 447 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 18: the next one, And that typifies how he sees the world. 448 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 18: He has a unique ability to focus in the moment 449 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 18: and make quick decisions and then put it away and 450 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 18: go to the next play. That's one of the hardest 451 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 18: thing to teach. I was fortunate enough as a young 452 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 18: coach to work with to Chaos Ikes and Patrick Willis 453 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 18: and Navarro Bowman and get what to Kato Spikes taught 454 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 18: us was when he was young going through getting it 455 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 18: because it's it's exciting there's all kinds of stuff going 456 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 18: on the field, as you know, and hit. What he 457 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 18: would say to himself is next place my best play. 458 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 18: Next play is my best play. And that was one 459 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 18: of the things I shared with Carson and I share 460 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 18: with a lot of young linebackers. But he has a 461 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 18: great mental attitude to be able to do that. So 462 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 18: it's special how he can go to the next play 463 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 18: and focus and forget about it and go and usually 464 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 18: after he gets the guy on the ground, which is 465 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 18: special that he's able to do that as well. 466 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 6: Jesus, you don't know that I've ever seen a defender, 467 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 6: at least a rookie defender come in and understand spatial 468 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 6: awareness the way that Carson does. And I remember we 469 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 6: used to talk about it, even with Ja okay figure 470 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 6: out where he needed to be, But Carson like skipped 471 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 6: over all that, didn't. I mean, he just like knows 472 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 6: that instinctively, doesn't he. 473 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 18: I think it's it's it's always nature and nurture. Carson 474 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 18: playing a whole bunch of positions, a bunch of different sports, 475 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 18: with all his brothers and sisters growing up and playing 476 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 18: a bunch of different positions, and then how he had 477 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 18: to earn his way onto the field. I think helped 478 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 18: him immensely in the space in the field. And yes, 479 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 18: we talked about Jeremiah a lot. Jeremiah is amazing at 480 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 18: how well he could feel things. He just didn't have 481 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 18: as much experience of putting it into that box and 482 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 18: applying it quite as quick. But of course once Jeremiah 483 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 18: saw it, there's not many humans that can get as 484 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 18: fast as he can. 485 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 19: So all of us have a strength and weaknesses. 486 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 18: But yeah, I think he's just he takes in space 487 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 18: and feel and time and it's naturally who he is, 488 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 18: how he sees the world as a person, but also 489 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 18: his experience and then his ability to like we said, 490 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 18: next play is the best played, lock onto one thing 491 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 18: and use it. 492 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 7: What do you think that comes from the ability to 493 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 7: get to the next place? 494 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 5: Can you talk about that every time we talked to you. 495 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 7: Yes, So why is he able to do that quicker than. 496 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 18: I think it's a little like we said, it's he's 497 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 18: he's so smart that he can put it away and 498 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 18: just how he's he's naturally wired like that. 499 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 19: He he makes a play and you'll see him. 500 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 18: He'll get a quick celebration or you know, grab the 501 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 18: back from Miami, throw him down, everybody hits him on 502 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 18: the helmet, runs back to the huddle, and he's already 503 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 18: looking for Jim to get the next call. It's it's 504 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 18: it's it's really unique, and he can. He learns very quickly, 505 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 18: both when when you tell him something, when you show 506 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 18: him something, and then his study comes into play. He's 507 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 18: he's advanced at how much he studies what he studies, 508 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 18: and he hits the point where he has enough so 509 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 18: that he doesn't overthink it. That's that's advanced as well too. 510 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 18: So it comes it comes from the whole process. 511 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 5: He didn't start earlier. 512 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 7: You see, like when you see what he's doing now 513 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 7: that somebody. 514 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,479 Speaker 19: Didn't recognize it, well, I don't know. I don't know. 515 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 18: I wasn't there, so I don't know. I know his 516 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 18: weight progression, I know he didn't have I knew he grew. 517 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 18: He was still grown. Senior year into UCLA. And I 518 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 18: think at that time with the year when you were 519 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 18: recruited the athletes in twenty twenty, because of the situation, 520 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 18: because of what was going on, there's a bunch of 521 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 18: good players in that mix that not as many coaches 522 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 18: could go out to see him. Not as many there's 523 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 18: stories like this out of that class just because of 524 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 18: what was happening in the world. 525 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 19: Like we may not have been able to find them all. 526 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 18: But what's cool is is is these young men are 527 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 18: getting a chance and then showing who they are. Because 528 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 18: really it's all about and we talked about it all 529 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 18: the time, and you guys do a good job asking 530 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 18: me all the time. This business as next man up, 531 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 18: no matter what, you don't know when it's going to happen. 532 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 18: So for Carson to be able to get in to 533 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 18: what he did last year and start making plays right 534 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 18: away and then get on everybody's radar, then to come 535 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 18: in here, stay focused, build his body, come back from 536 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 18: what he came back from after by week and get 537 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 18: in there and make all those tackles. I mean, it's 538 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 18: very impressive taking advantage of the opportunity. And proud of 539 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 18: him for that. 540 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 6: About NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year for him. 541 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 12: What are your thoughts on this? 542 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 19: I think mine are the same as him. 543 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 18: We're going to stay in our what we do each 544 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 18: play each day, how we communicate with our teammates, how 545 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 18: we get eleven of us to go to the ball 546 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 18: because we've we've got to get and we did a 547 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 18: pretty good job of it last week. As a defense, 548 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 18: we've got to get guys on the ground faster. In 549 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 18: the run game, we've got to get you can't run 550 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 18: without your legs. We've got to get legs out of 551 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 18: the ground. That's with with this young back who's really 552 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 18: good his legs run, and so we got to do 553 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 18: I mean, we got so many things to work on 554 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 18: that if we do that, that stuff falls at the end. 555 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 18: And this is a good challenge. They they they didn't 556 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 18: run the ball as much as as they probably wanted 557 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 18: to last week. So you know, we this is going 558 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 18: to be a lot of the young men on our 559 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 18: defense are going close to home and we need to 560 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 18: We need to play really well this week to go 561 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 18: one to O and that's our ultimate goal. We haven't 562 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 18: done that on the we haven't done that on the 563 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 18: road for a while, and we need to focus on that. 564 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 3: The next one, what is in your favorite person playing 565 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 3: this year? 566 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 19: Mine? Mine is the next one? 567 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 18: You know that I don't even uh, there's a lot, 568 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 18: there's a lot. I'll answer that one at the end 569 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 18: of the year. Let's see what let's see where we 570 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 18: can go with that. 571 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 6: About genty, what are you seeing from from gent? 572 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 18: It runs already strong, He's trained his body to be 573 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 18: really strong and and he's good. He spins and he 574 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 18: gets positive yards. I don't think I don't think his 575 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 18: yards per Kerry represent who this back is. He's a 576 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 18: good player. 577 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 9: Devon was really good last year. But what has maybe 578 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 9: changed or even clicked more for him this season? 579 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 18: Thanks for asking about Devon? Uh, A smile comes to 580 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 18: my face. I'm really proud of Devin. How he brings 581 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 18: energy to us every day to the field. He's gotten 582 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 18: better at just every time he takes the field bringing 583 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 18: his energy. Devin has eight positive energy and he loves football. 584 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 18: He's always he's out pre practice playing catch with Carson 585 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 18: every day and they're like two little kids playing catch, 586 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 18: trying to catch the ball at all different angles. And 587 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 18: you know what, that helped us, So hopefully that continues 588 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 18: to help us. But love his energy, and he is 589 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 18: good working with Carson and the year in the defense, 590 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 18: he's way better on his alignments and then his eyes 591 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 18: are more correct because his alignments are correct. And so 592 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 18: when Devin stays in that process, he's really good because 593 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 18: he's fast, he's low target tackling well, like kind of 594 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 18: what we were just talking about, because we got it. 595 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 18: You got to get legs out of the ground. There's 596 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 18: no other way to get people on the ground anymore. 597 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 18: They all got stiff arms, they're all quick, they're all fast, 598 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 18: they can all cut back. In the NFL, it's a 599 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 18: cutback league because everybody can run. That's a Joe Woods quote, 600 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 18: but I love that one because it's true. And you 601 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 18: got to prevent cutbacks. And so Devin's done a good 602 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 18: job of we call it tracking. He's done a good 603 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 18: job of tracking. So I can't say enough about what 604 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 18: he's doing within the scheme of the defense. And then 605 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 18: how willing he is to play with contact right now. 606 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 12: I feel like with. 607 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 13: Both him and Carson, there's a bunch of plays where 608 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 13: even if it seems like they're not going to catch 609 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 13: a guy, they're chasing it. You know, the Andrews play 610 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 13: Carson running without his helmet on that screenplay, And I 611 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 13: remember Devin in New Orleans last year. 612 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 4: What does that say. 613 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 7: About those guys? 614 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 18: That's that's that's who we want to be. That's our 615 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 18: number one thing of our linebacker mantras, run it's run, 616 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 18: shed tackle the guy with the ball. 617 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 19: You gotta run. 618 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 18: It's the number one thing they they know they don't 619 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 18: like when they read their grade sheet and it says, loaf, 620 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 18: that's the worst thing that we could have in that room. 621 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 19: We have very few. We want zero. We have very few. 622 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 18: But that's that is what we pride ourselves on, and 623 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 18: that's what the room and the defense has done a 624 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 18: good job of pointing out to each other, like is 625 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 18: that full speed? And the more times that you say yes, 626 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 18: it was, the better you are. So we emphasize that 627 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 18: in every phase of everything we do. 628 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 17: And I'm sure there's gonna be different looks that you 629 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 17: give when it comes to rock bauers and different guys 630 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 17: kind of cover and things like that. But what role 631 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 17: does just the linebackers play? And now on Sunday a 632 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 17: guy who obviously as talented. 633 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 18: As Ease, the as coach short says, the linebackers and 634 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 18: the safeties and our defense at the nerve center. 635 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 19: So it's our job to get everything lined up. 636 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 18: They do a great job of moving him or putting 637 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 18: in positions to use his change of direction to ability 638 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 18: in his great hands to make plays.
