WEBVTT - Press Pass: Malcolm Jenkins

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, this preseason, you're gonna be facing some

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:29.479
<v Speaker 1>good quarterbacks Andrew Love, Joe Flacco, Aaron Rodgers. What are

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you looking to see from you know, secondary as a whole.

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, the better competition. You know, it's

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>great rest for us. You know, it's, um, none of

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>these preseason games count, but we all we're going out

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>there to compete. And so when you go to compete,

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you want to go against the best. And so not

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>only do we go against good quarterbacks, but all these

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>teams have really good receivers as well, and so it'd

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>be cool for us to see how we match up

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>on the outsides some of these tight ends that we

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>got going on. And um, you know, it's just a

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>good dry run for us pretty much. And um, you know,

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>we're working hard and looking forward to the petition, second

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>years years, the playbooks, what he can call when all options. Yeah,

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I think the more guys he brings in, the more

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>versatile the packages get, um, the more ideas get thrown

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>on the table that we can add from different places.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>So there are some things that I brought in with

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 1>me last year that we were able to install. Corey

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Underland brings some stuff this year that he had, you know,

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>with other teams that we've installed, UM, even Byron Maxwell

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>being you know in a team that plays a lot

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>of three deep and in single high, he's able to

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, add some of his expertise to it. And

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>so when you take all of these um different ideas

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>from veterans and coaches, you put them all together, you

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>get to expand your playbook. You get to change it up,

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>tweak it to where it's advantageous for us as players.

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>And UM, you know we've seen that the scheme take

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>that next step, UM to where we're um keeping our identity.

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>We still want to be in your face, single high,

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>disruptive on the outside, get after the quarterback, but also

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>be able to do some other things that are um,

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, surprise some quarterbacks. One Maxwell got No. I

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>mean you just kind of know who you're working with.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, regardless, I really feel good about our matchups, UM,

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>whether it's Nolan or Maxwell. But UM, you know, the

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell's a guy we brought in uh to to really

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>be that that lockdown corner for us. So we'll let

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>him travel and you know we think Nolan a lot

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>of these people we play it is you got one

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>premier receiver, but then that next guy is also pretty good.

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>We got the Falcons week one where you got Julio

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>on one side and Ride Wide another. You know, it's

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>it's they're both quality number one receiver. So you know,

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>although you make you probably make Maxwell travel with Julio,

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not a slouter on the other side of that.

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>So we all got to be good. I'm able to

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>hold up in our own matchups complaining slot and because

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the firing has that it is really good at it.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>What are we maybe making too much about who's out

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>there commuting for the quote quote you know, the boinking spot,

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and then it's like I think so I think I

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 1>think that's the spot that we're not really worried about.

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, from myself to Maxwell to Walter Nolan

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>played dime last year. UM, any of us can drop

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>down in that position at any point in time. I

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>think the biggest question is who's the third safety, because

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>if you do take me or Walter and put us

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>down there, somebody else has got to come in at safety.

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And and I think that's that's where the most competition

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>is at right now, is just who's the next best

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>defense about to come in. Eric Rothe is taking some

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>reps that the nicggle this past week. He's getting a

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>lot a lot more comfortable with it and it's making plays. Um,

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, we got a lot of young guys that

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>are are stepping up to it was obviously uh I

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>loss having a course Shephard go down, but um, we

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of guys that can go play that position. Also,

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Satan bates because of your ability to play. Yeah, absolutely

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about Yeah, that's what we did last year.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 1>We played base to a lot of through receiver formations

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and just let me play the receiver. We don't want

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to live in that, but we can very easily get

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>through games just like that. And guy more than heavy, right, Yeah,

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean we don't necessarily if we didn't want to

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>play nickel, we didn't have to because it's essentially the

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>same package, primarily you playing that fat guy. Yeah. Now

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>we got a guy that worried you can fly before Yeah,

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>because they can use more quasility to stay based. Oh yeah,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>well last year it was it was me and Nate

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>and then I just Nate was more comfortable playing deep

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and so I just whenever we were in saying wahai,

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I just went down on either side. Now we don't

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>have to do that. We'll just play true left and right,

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you never know where we'll be at

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and so that does give us more flexibility with that

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>where we don't have to kind of show our hand, um,

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and then we can play nickel, we can play dime.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>You know. Right now we're just trying to see who

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>our best dvs are and then we'll figure out a

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>way to get all of them on the field. Changed

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>contensive line shout a, secondary trends not there anymore, brandings

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>fully exchanged. It's your goody, okay, shouldn't take a little

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>time Poles to shoot down. Who do you exchec hey

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>t fool teeth A gets the plant. We're gonna be

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>right where we can, doug where we need to be.

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the growing pains happen here in the preseason,

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>so whatever those are, we're trying to work out all

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the kinks. Um. Not to say that I expect, you know,

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>everybody the Brandon Graham will go in there and produce

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>like Trent Cole Concernt Coles obviously an awesome player, and

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>it's done a whole bunch in this league. But I

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 1>want the best of Brandon Graham, and I think that's

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be just as much. That's all we need, you know,

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be He's gonna feel that real

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>nice and I think as long as we can get

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the best that he has, I'm completely confident in our

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>d lions covered corner. How important is that he can

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>play both sides in the field against the opposition's conversation,

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's gonna be essential for any corner

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>that's going to travel with somebody, that he can play

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>both sides. I think he's comfortable with playing both sides.

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>We rotated them throughout camp on left and right, and

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>so I don't think that's gonna be an issue. Um

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and and I don't think we'll travel unless we have to,

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>unless we go to a game where we really feel

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.479
<v Speaker 1>like we're outmatched. Um yeah. But otherwise, if we don't

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 1>we like the matchups, we'll stay left and right practice. Oh,

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, we had a lot of guys that, you know,

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason, took a little day off. So I

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>just want to make sure that you know, they had

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>a nice little seat and a place in the shade.

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, while we all were working out here, Oh no, no,

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I got all those guys. De Marco was the last one.

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Nothing funny little joke. And when you see guys, you know,

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>all of them obviously have reasons they're saying out. But

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>when you're warming up and they're just they got the

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 1>advisors on this, you gotta laugh where you get upset

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>one of in those big plays over the top about

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>why how big is it to have that played in

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>covered coming down the middle of the the field and not yet.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's to be honest that I don't think

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the tight end really has anything to do with it

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>because the post safety is only going to make plays

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>between the numbers. You know, he can get to you know,

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>from one number to the next. So anything outside of

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that the corner and uh, you know that's why we

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>pay him. And and when you play a lot of

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 1>single high that's their area field and that's where they

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>gotta take care of above anything else. This summer, his

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>confidence has gotten a lot higher. He's running his routes

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these are is catching the ball a

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>lot better than he did last year. Um, and I

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>think he's he's ready to make plays and that's I

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>can see that his demeanor, the way it goes about

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>practice and every day. Um, it just has a lot

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 1>more confidence about the self and about his games. Happening

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason. That said, how excited you to see

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>what you guys can do against another team? And what

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>do you look for from this new look defense? Yeah,

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm very excited. You know, when you at

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>this point in training camp, you're kind of tired of

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>going against your own offense. Um, you've installed everything three

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>or four times and now you're really you know, you're

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>ready to take the show in the road. So we're

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to going against you know, a t Y

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Hill and Andre Johnson, Andrew Luck, Uh, you know all

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the tight ends they got, Dwayne Allen, all of them, Um,

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Frank Gore. So it's gonna be a great little matchup

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>we have and to see where we act. Although it's

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna be short, you still want to get out there,

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 1>fly around, get your timing right, get your communications right. Uh,

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and then the rest of it. You want to see

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>these young guys. You want to see who can play,

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, and this is all an evaluation period for them,

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>and so they get out there they compete and show

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>what they got, and you know, as the preseason goes along,
