Last year's steal. 209 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 5: The offense down, mar camera destruct thirds its more. 210 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 7: Than that did like business see this year that yeah, 211 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 7: most definitely. 212 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 5: Uh. 213 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 7: I think that's the whole uh thing about our standard here. 214 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: Uh. 215 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 9: We don't like the league stuff on the field, and 216 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 9: we Looke definitely left some players on the field last year. 217 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 9: So now we're all just coming back tryna. Like I 218 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 9: said the other day, were trying to communicate better all 219 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 9: our players. Last year that we messed up on was 220 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 9: communication era. So we all understand that. That's why we 221 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 9: coming out here. You see everybody talking and we all 222 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 9: flowing together. Everything's clicking right now. So uh, it's definitely 223 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 9: n finished business. 224 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 4: I got your play to the ups and downs that 225 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 4: you went through in your first two or three years 226 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 4: of Baltimore. I made it easier three years. But you 227 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 4: find the food, find a lottle motivation to keep getting better. 228 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 5: And run your art. 229 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 4: Though that's like a much higher thanause. 230 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 6: People are getting incredible. 231 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 7: Yeah. 232 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 9: Uh, coming into the league, a lot of people know. Uh, 233 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 9: I didn't play that much in college, and switching position 234 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 9: from college to the league. Uh, playing mic is a 235 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 9: very difficult task. And just being able to switch from 236 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 9: my first year to midway through my second year, learned 237 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 9: a whole new position was a challenge itself, But I 238 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 9: think I kind of found like a common ground in 239 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 9: which I needed to be prepared for knowing both positions. Uh. 240 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 9: I think when I first learned Michael was just learning 241 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 9: my position. That's what really messed me up, Like not 242 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 9: knowing both positions, and that would have helped me in 243 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 9: the defense itself. Just knowing both and would have been 244 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 9: a whole lot less mess ups and stuff. But I 245 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 9: think that's actually helped me now, So now that I 246 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 9: know both positions, it's way easier. Uh. 247 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 7: Just we had to take my time and just play football. 248 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 11: Have like you said, play a lot of. 249 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 8: In college and that have never been a players since 250 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 8: you've been here. 251 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 3: But you're still one of the younger players in the league. 252 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 8: Feel like you're kind of scratching the surface of the 253 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 8: type of player you're gonna be. 254 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 6: Yeah. 255 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 9: I definitely haven't even got closer to the service the 256 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 9: players like I could be. And everybody around here knows it. 257 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 4: Uh. 258 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 9: I think people around the league know it. And that's 259 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 9: why I'm out here just trying to get better, trying 260 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 9: to compete, uh, trying to just master my craft. And uh, 261 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 9: I think when I do that, I think the whole 262 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 9: league gonna be unoticed take any more patience. 263 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 7: And I definitely did. 264 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 9: Uh boy boys out there balling, uh when win it, 265 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 9: Uh dealing right down the street. So whenever he get 266 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 9: up there, uh with the Nationals, I'm gonna go up 267 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 9: there and catch some games and stuff. Most definitely one 268 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 9: could have most definitely, Uh, I was actually talking to 269 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 9: some schools, had some schools reach out. Definitely could have 270 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 9: went that route. Uh, but I just I should have 271 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 9: went that out. I shoulda I should have tried to 272 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 9: do both. I should have did both experimental a little bit, 273 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 9: but I think it all worked out little. That's uh, 274 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 9: first of though, not really. Uh, just to up every 275 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 9: step that I had, one, more tackles, more picks, forced fumble, sacks, 276 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 9: whatever it may be. Uh, I just want to up 277 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 9: each category that I had. 278 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 8: What you talk about, given I'm seven years of run, 279 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 8: it's like it was a twenty yard run, just even 280 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 8: without the last year. This year, how couldn't you think 281 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 8: it was the run defense can be. 282 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 7: Uh, it could be great. Uh, we all know how 283 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 7: good we could be. 284 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: Uh. 285 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 9: Really, all the guys is on up front already been 286 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 9: in the fire, every single one of them. So we 287 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 9: know what the standard is. That's why I said, like 288 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 9: the seven yard runs, we know that, we know we're 289 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 9: better than that. So at the end of the day, 290 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 9: a team might get seven yards, but the most you 291 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 9: could limit and just get better off of that, I 292 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 9: mean holding teams to less than seventy seven yards of carriage, 293 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 9: I mean a game. So just that's stuff that we 294 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 9: need to build on. 295 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 7: We're talking to peers after year. 296 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: I mean, if he's able to be out there allway, mostly. 297 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 9: Season, how big deal is out for definitely Hughes. He 298 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 9: gonna definitely knock people off the ball hard to get 299 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 9: their hands on him. And when he get his hands 300 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 9: on he could do whatever he wants. So that's a 301 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 9: guy that we just can't wait to see go to action. 302 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 9: Appreciate y'all. 303 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: That was linebacker Patrick Queen. We also talked with defensive 304 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: tackle Michael Pierce today. Now, Michael started last season strong, 305 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: but then he went on injured reserve. He had an 306 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: injury that knocked him out for the remainder of the season, 307 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: but he's healthy now and he has big hopes for 308 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: this season. He talked about that today. 309 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 8: Up following. 310 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 12: Yeah, it was fun, man, especially for me, Like I said, 311 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 12: missing those last two years. Uh, it was fun to 312 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 12: get the pads on, try some new stuff that I've 313 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 12: been working on with Chuck, working on a weave.

So that's where you get to 317 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 12: see the young guys and who you think will make 318 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 12: the team and all that kind of stuff. And then 319 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 12: for me, it's about trying stuff and just making sure 320 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 12: I have some different things in my repertoire going to 321 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 12: the season. 322 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 6: So I had a blast to day. 323 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 9: Man. 324 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 10: You guys you come channel for some last year. 325 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: Three years, different streak differently together for this year. 326 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 6: And make sure. 327 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 12: Yeah, certainly obviously you started with rehab.

But like for now, like I said, 367 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 12: I hit the ground running, OTAs came out here, started 368 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 12: affecting the quarterback right away. That's something I've been working 369 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 12: on the past few years. But like I said, the 370 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 12: past two years I've been doing really well, just had 371 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 12: those in seasons cut short. So Nah, I feel good. 372 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 12: I'm moving well, I'm affecting the quarterback obviously, playing the 373 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 12: run well. But like I said, I feel good in 374 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 12: my pass rush. And I've just been really really drilling 375 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 12: that stuff with Chuck and all those guys this off season. 376 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 12: So it's been paying off pretty well. And like I said, 377 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 12: the pass I keep telling the story like the. 378 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 11: Pass came on to the guys from the xcept to 379 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 11: tell you see the guys that never line sayings. 380 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 6: And yeah, like I said, here, hello sis branding. We 381 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 6: can go on and on. 382 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 12: Those guys set the tone each and every Sunday, and 383 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 12: Mike and the staff has done a really good job 384 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 12: of just reminding and drilling us through that each and 385 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 12: every day. They show a little clips of different things 386 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 12: and how we just chop things down, work things out 387 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 12: as an organization from two thousand on. So it's a 388 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 12: standard that you got to re established every year, and 389 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 12: I think we did a good job of that today. 390 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 6: But like I said, we got a long way to go. 391 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 12: It's just about doing that every day and making sure 392 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 12: each and every team knows when they play us, we 393 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 12: might not have one hundred million dollar guy, whatever the 394 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 12: case may be, but when they plays, it's gonna hurt. 395 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 6: So that's the thing. 396 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 5: Take it upon yourself. 397 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: Somebody see the offensive line and like Vanderboud's going to 398 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: year two, Sala's running up the first to you take 399 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: it upon yourself to be like, all right, I've been 400 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: trying to sharpen these young. 401 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 12: I don't look at it that way. Like I said, 402 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 12: I just make myself hold up to the standard. But 403 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 12: I think it's more so about helping those guys alone 404 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 12: as well as not just succeeding against them. Like I said, 405 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 12: we all on the same team at the end of 406 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 12: the day, So if I may hit the move that works, 407 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 12: if they have a question or something, I definitely talk 408 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 12: to them. 409 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 6: Like I said, I don't hold too much back on them. 410 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 12: But that's just for me making sure I'm where I'll 411 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 12: need to be, but also bringing them along and helping 412 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 12: them with anything that I may beat them on or 413 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 12: anybody else may beat them on. So it's kind of 414 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 12: like an iron sharper is kind of things what we 415 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 12: use here. But uh, like I said, I think they 416 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 12: are doing really well, doing really well. It depends like 417 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 12: I said, if I get them on a couple moves 418 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 12: like same time, same type of thing every day, yeah, 419 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 12: they'll say what was that? How do you see that? 420 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 12: How do you you know, fit that in? Different types 421 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 12: of things like that. But like I said, for the 422 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 12: most part, we kind of just leave each other to yourselves. 423 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 12: Like I said, Coach d does a great job of 424 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 12: coaching them up. But now, man, I don't hold too 425 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 12: much back on them. As we get closer to the season, 426 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 12: we'll start talking more. But right now, like I said, 427 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 12: they pretty pretty amped up, and you know, they got 428 00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 12: to stop me, like I gotta beat them. 429 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 6: So I think right now we kind of just keep 430 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 6: it even. So like that sounds you guys like yeah, 431 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 6: that's yeah, man. 432 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 12: Like I said, we had those guys like Terrell Suggs 433 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 12: and Bart Scott and ray Lewis, and they read you 434 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 12: need those energetic Kayan guys, and you you failed to 435 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 12: mention Row.

So like 456 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 12: I said, you definitely have a swing of emotions, especially 457 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 12: like when you go through surgery and you know, like 458 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 12: I said, you don't get to travel. You kind of 459 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 12: just in rehabs, sitting in there hours and hours a day. 460 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 12: But at the end of the day, like I said, 461 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 12: I didn't want to give up on my career obviously, 462 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 12: and like I said, I just take that and stride, 463 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 12: and I said, we've seen a lot of people do 464 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 12: a lot of amazing things here missing time and then 465 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 12: come back. Ronnie Stanley comes to mind. He's back playing 466 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 12: at the all pro level, so you don't have time 467 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 12: to really get down on yourself if you want to 468 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 12: keep playing, So uh, you take it on the chain 469 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 12: and mind up for next year. 470 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 6: He over here and rating d. 471 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 9: Kind of to go for it. 472 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 4: Course he. 473 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 5: Talk a little bit about travels Jurgers just similar. 474 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 3: To their three opportunities. 475 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 6: I would say yes and no. 476 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 12: So there was not a justin Metabku to take those 477 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 12: kind of reps when we were there, so I think 478 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 12: we had traded Timmy Jernigan and that was kind of 479 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 12: more of a neat thing. Now Travis is an amazing 480 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 12: player if you watch any of his reps. Like I said, 481 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 12: I don't want to date myself or anything, but he 482 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 12: probably a little stronger than I am. So like I said, 483 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 12: big guy physical kind of reminds me of Brandon, but 484 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 12: he has like some really really exquisite mood skills, So 485 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 12: I don't know how much, maybe like in run situations, 486 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 12: but like I said, we got beats there and you're 487 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 12: not really gonna take a lot of reps away from him. So, 488 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 12: like I said, we have a lot of guys who 489 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,479 Speaker 12: can do a lot of different things, not only him, 490 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 12: but Brody as well, So that'll be hard for teams 491 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 12: to game plan, just different fastballs and stuff like that. 492 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 12: But yeah, I definitely look forward to playing at least 493 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 12: a couple of runs with Travis for true, Like I. 494 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: Know, Tyler didn't see a lot of guys her size 495 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: and good plans they could showed a time from training 496 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 2: camp last year. 497 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 5: Can you tell the improvements that he's made, especially in 498 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 5: past protection. 499 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 12: One, Yeah, no, you can tell you very very technically sound, 500 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 12: but he can anchor a lot better. I don't know 501 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 12: if he ain't a little way or not, or just 502 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 12: just getting stronger as he's growing, But now he's he's 503 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 12: definitely gotten a lot better. I said, I don't know 504 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 12: if I don't watch Big ten football a lot. I'm 505 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 12: from Alabama, so I'm a SEC fan, But now he's 506 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 12: definitely got a lot better. Like I said, technique wise, 507 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 12: he was always sharp, but just like those grown man things, 508 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 12: dealing with those grown man moves, different hunt moves, all 509 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 12: that kind of stuff where you just need that muscle, 510 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 12: that girth and that anchor. 511 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 6: He's definitely anchoring a lot better. 512 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 8: Trying stuff added to the class guys far, it's been awesome. 513 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 9: Man. 514 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 12: I actually went to him twenty eighteen and he gave 515 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 12: me some things. I just failed to put him in 516 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 12: uh at that time. But having him here and she's 517 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 12: bringing a different perspective, he said, Coach Wi has been awesome. 518 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 12: But like I said, those guys obviously specialist for a reason. 519 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 12: And uh, he's done a great job not only with 520 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 12: Jabo and dafaing everybody, but also with the d tackle. 521 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 12: So one on ones, I lost two of them. I 522 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 12: don't normally lose a lot of them. But it's just 523 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 12: trying new things and just figuring out your body and 524 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 12: what works for you. Like I said, I've been getting 525 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 12: a rod on the passer a lot, just changing my 526 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 12: stance in different things. So he's definitely put a lot 527 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 12: of things in my brain as well as everybody else. 528 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 12: And it's just about finding those two or three things 529 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 12: that will change up obviously from a bull rus from 530 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 12: a nose guard position. So now he's been he's been 531 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 12: a godsend for real, and I think we'll that'll that'll 532 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 12: pay off for sure. 533 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: The final person we heard from was defensive line coach 534 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: and assistant head coach Anthony Weaver. Here's what coach Weaver 535 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: had to say. 536 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 7: Everybody's doing. 537 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 4: I think. 538 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 3: Wow, I think we have a veteran led group right. 539 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 3: Probably starts with like Mike Pierce, Brent Urban, but the 540 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 3: guys who are going in their fourth years, Broderick Washington, 541 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,239 Speaker 3: justin Mattabek, They're hungry. They're chomping at the bit. They 542 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 3: want to you know, we obviously miss class. We love them, 543 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 3: but they want to show that they can and not 544 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 3: only pick up the slack but do more. So I'm 545 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 3: excited about where where the group's heading. Love their work ethic, 546 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: just love their attention to detail. Think it's gonna be 547 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: a fun year. 548 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 4: What's your sense of what mi L. 549 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 5: Pierce wants to get out of the rest of his career. 550 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 5: He was so ready last year and then they have 551 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 5: the injury. 552 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, where is Mike's been working all offseason. 553 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 3: He's been here the entire time, and behind all adversity 554 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 3: is a blessing and a lesson, Right, So you get hurt, 555 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: you're disappointed, but all that time he's just got He's 556 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: gotten work. So his goal is to come out here 557 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 3: and completely dominate, right, win a Pro Bowl, prove that 558 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 3: he's worth every dollar he's been paid. And he's got 559 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 3: the ability to do all that. So hopefully God will 560 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 3: and he can be out there for all seventeen. And 561 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 3: if he is, he's going to help this defense an 562 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 3: awful lot. I'd love to play behind him if I 563 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 3: was six and zero. Right, guy eats up two gaffs, 564 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 3: he says in a. 565 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 2: Chimp when he's showing him as Joe. 566 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 3: Without question, Pierce loves the game of football. He loves 567 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens. So him not being out there absolutely 568 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 3: killed him. And he just wants to go out there 569 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 3: and let the world on fire. And I think he 570 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 3: has a chance to do it. 571 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 8: Justin Mattie had a career year last year. Did you 572 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 8: see him making even bigger some big strides. 573 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 6: From last year this year? 574 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 3: Yes, DK, Right, you've got to talk to him. He's 575 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 3: kind of quiet. He's not gonna give you a bunch 576 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 3: of long answers. But that guy loves ball and all 577 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: he does is work. 578 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 11: Right. 579 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 3: You see a guy who's now he started for three years, 580 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: you know two three years could have a sense of entitlement, 581 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 3: think he's arrived. He doesn't feel that way at all. 582 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: When you go out there and watch him. He actually 583 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 3: he's gonna get chopped tomorrow. So because of that mindset 584 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 3: he has. 585 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 4: You can absolutely get better and improve on a year 586 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 4: ago some of. 587 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 6: Those interior guys pass rush. 588 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 4: You know, I didn't really start to figure on the 589 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 4: fast rush. 590 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 6: Until like a year four, year five. 591 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 4: Why do you think that that kind of hell learning fervos. 592 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 8: The way it is and how do you kind of 593 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 8: see that track you could play justin nik against. 594 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 9: That his career. 595 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a lot of that just happens through 596 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 3: pre snap identification. 597 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 4: As a rookie. 598 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 3: You're just trying to come and learn what to do, 599 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 3: where to go, right as you progress in your maturity, 600 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 3: right as you gain more experience. Once you know that, 601 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 3: now you can look at some of all the other 602 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 3: extraneous things happening. You can hear protection slide calls no 603 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 3: one to take advantage when you do get that one 604 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 3: on one. 605 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 4: So I think that's probably why that happens. 606 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 3: It's that maturation of having been in the scheme, knowing 607 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 3: the system, where now you can take some graduate level 608 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 3: steps and see all the other stuff happening around it. 609 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 5: And this is something stopping from the shows put into 610 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 5: the losses at the season for Central. 611 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 3: As you exploit, Yeah, we we we obviously go into 612 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 3: games with plans, but we try to empower our guys 613 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 3: as much as we possibly can. We We we give 614 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 3: them as much pre snapp information as possible. Hopefully right 615 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 3: what we see it on tape holds true, and then 616 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: they have opportunities to call that those games. Obviously from 617 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 3: our perspective, we're trying to exploit space and the protection 618 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 3: and if they can identify that and tell us that 619 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 3: off the field, hey call what you want and let's 620 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 3: take advantage of it. 621 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 5: We saw Roderck Wassington really haven't really good year, said, wouldn't. 622 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 11: Played to his growth, hasn't. 623 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 3: Played from the spotlash. Yeah, I don't know that there's 624 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 3: a person in this building that works harder than Broderick Washington. 625 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 4: That guy. 626 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 3: I mean, just if you look into his body from 627 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 3: when he's got there to how it is now, he 628 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 3: looks completely different. You talk about a guy that's taken 629 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 3: every bit of coaching and then some it's him. So 630 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 3: I'm not surprised by any of his success and I 631 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 3: would expect more. Yeahs bad hard, Yeah, we'll see it's 632 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 3: it's probably going to be a bi committee approach, right. 633 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 3: There's we're missing Tyas Bowser, who's not out there right now. 634 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 3: He's going to take a bunch of those justin Matt 635 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 3: at BK. It'll probably be a little bit different, right 636 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 3: Kalais was out there, he's kind of a finesse rusher. 637 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 3: We have some guys that can power the pocket and 638 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 3: Mike Pierce and Travis Jones. So it's definitely gonna be 639 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 3: a bi committee approach. But I think we can attack 640 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 3: him in waves with complimentary pieces that'll be changed up 641 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 3: to the offense too, which could be fun to watch. 642 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna. 643 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 8: Seem what do you just want to see from Travis Jones. 644 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 4: You see him a test, the tests and watch. 645 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 11: Out the technos. 646 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 6: The pad shocks everyone. 647 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 4: Definitely, it's still. 648 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 8: Just kind of technique getting self technically to where he's. 649 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 6: Physically for you. 650 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think from Travis you want to see him 651 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 3: to see the same progression that we saw with Broder Washington. Right, 652 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 3: he comes in his first year. There are some things 653 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 3: he struggled with a lot of that was from a 654 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 3: technique standpoint. It was the exact same thing with Travis. 655 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 3: I think it's important for him to get all these 656 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 3: reps in the preseason as much as he possibly can. 657 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: Repetition is a mother of skill, and hopefully through that 658 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 3: right he can build that foundation and then allow his 659 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 3: God given ability to take off. So hopefully, God willing, 660 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: we see the same thing we saw at of Broadert. 661 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 12: I think. 662 00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 5: Michael pears great. 663 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that could definitely happen. A lot of that's 664 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 3: based on opponent and scheme and what we're gonna see. 665 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 3: If it's obviously it's a heavy run team, you could 666 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: definitely see that package. Or there may be just a 667 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 3: couple of soft guys inside that we want to mash 668 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: and you can see them out there too. But I 669 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: would not rule out that combination at all.
