1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: He is the conversation right now. Having gone through a

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: lot of this yourself last year, do you see parallels?

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Do you have you reached out to Brandon? Would you

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: read on the situation?

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: It's brutal, especially when you're here and you have that

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: extra pressure on you. I've talked to him a few

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: times just as a friend, and but when it comes

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: to what's actually going on behind closed doors, I have

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: no knowledge or input. So it'll get worked out.

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: I just confirmed that they are allowing Brandon to talk

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: to other teams that are pretty close to possibly him

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: being traded.

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: Do you what.

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: Kind of loss would that be if he's not on

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: this team.

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: I think it'd be huge. I trust John and Kyle,

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: but he's a very tough player to replace.

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, do you never have any doubts last summer, Nick,

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: whether you might get traded or I think we're not.

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: Gonna get done?

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean, as it got closer and closer,

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: it gets pretty dicey. But uh, I definitely didn't want

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: to be traded. It's a good place to be, for sure.

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm very, very thankful and grateful to be paid in

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: here because I don't think there's many other organizations that

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: are as good as this one. So but yeah, there's

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: a few moments.

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 4: Ers I noticed fair. I think we're talking negotiators when

29
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: it comes to this stuff.

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Do you feel like a good blank you won year.

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna comment too much on it, but they

32
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: are tough, that's for sure.

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Just how valuable the reps against Trent are in this camp.

34
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Obviously he's not there. You weren't there last year, But

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: what what do you lose by not having that?

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: I definitely lose a good battle. I sleep better at night.

37
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: But Jalen is very talented and getting a lot better

38
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: Dave day and day, like every single day, I see

39
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: him getting better. So for Jalen, it's great. And I'm sure.

40
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure Trent will be back, but uh, and I'll

41
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: get plenty of reps against him, But Jalen's tough, so

42
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: it's it's a battle with him too, And and I

43
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: think for him, he's he's working his way into a

44
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: position of being a starting caliber tackle for sure.

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: The conversations you have with Trent kind of sharing tips

46
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 4: and things like that, do you have similar conversations with

47
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: with Jalen?

48
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: A little bit, not as much. I'd say, but we're

49
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: going at it every day. We have a good working

50
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: relationship for sure. He's a great dude, and him and

51
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 2: mckivitt's both very solid players and fun to work against. Hey, Nick,

52
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: how is you tur gross matostit into the rotation with

53
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: you guys up front? He's doing great.

54
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

55
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: We've been on him every single day, me and Chris

56
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: and the rest of the guys, and he's starting to

57
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: really buy into the scheme and play it the way

58
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: it's supposed to. And he's got a ton of talent,

59
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: So I think this scheme will bring the best out

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: of him for sure.

61
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Chris Casurrik yesterday about Leonard Floyd and when he's out

62
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: there like in shorts and with a shirt cutoff, and

63
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: you see how Finny looks, it's almost like a basketball player.

64
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: How does he hold leverage?

65
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: What's your your observation on how he survives and not

66
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: only survives, but thrives with that kind of build its vent.

67
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: Have you seen him up close? He's pretty built. He's

68
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: about two forty five, shredded probably like five percent body fat,

69
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: and he could run. So I think he'll be just

70
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: fine in this scheme. And and he's proved that he

71
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: could rush the passer. So it's good to have him.

72
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: He's played I think over one hundred string games. I

73
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 4: know everyone in the NFL is tough, and maybe you

74
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: don't get a sense of guy's tough in his strength

75
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: camp or whatever, But does he have that reputation or

76
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: the things you've seen from where that has explained how

77
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: he's able to stand the field.

78
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: Well, for guy at his age to work as hard

79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: as he does and then come in with a mindset

80
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: of trying to get better every day, it's impressive to see.

81
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: He doesn't like missing days. I think he had an

82
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: off day to day for the first time of camp,

83
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: and and you kind of have to force it on

84
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: him because he's that type of guy. But some guys

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: are just more resilient and uh and there's a lot

86
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: of luck that goes into playing the sports. So but

87
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: it's good to have a guy who's reliable and and

88
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: really talented.

89
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: A couple of times in camp where he looked like

90
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: he tweaks up or something, he kind of went off

91
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: to the side and then looking in like five minutes later,

92
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: he'd be back out there. I don't know if you

93
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 4: were around him and that do you do you talk

94
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: to him in those moments or kind of hear what

95
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: his process is like.

96
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's uh, you're always dealing with something

97
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: and uh, he's been in the league a long time,

98
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: so it's not like he's out there feeling amazing. Every

99
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: reputakes so nothing serious. So that's good and and he's

100
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: very tough.

101
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: Some of the coaches yesterday obviously they would Brandon coming

102
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: and potentially, you know, mixing three four looks a little more.

103
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: Obviously you've mostly stayed, you know, not dropping in the coverage.

104
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: What would your perspective be and how comfortable would you

105
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: be if you were asked to run some three or

106
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: four looks.

107
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm liking our changeups that we're doing. I think in

108
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: the NFL you have to evolve every year. And we've

109
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: had a lot of success with what we do, and

110
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: teams are starting to gain plant and and and have

111
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: answers for us. So we have to evolve and we're

112
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: doing that. And I think we have a lot of

113
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: athletic defensive ends And I don't mind dropping. It's kind

114
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: of fun. Not something I do often, but it's it

115
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: keeps them honest and it could it could end up

116
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: getting you more sex by them not knowing exactly what

117
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: we're doing.

118
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: Thanks like
