Speaker 2: of fun guys are locked in good practice and we're
Speaker 2: pointing towards Sunday. What questions you have John any recent
Speaker 2: for the decision? It seemed like more of a wolf
Speaker 2: through process today and we're going to the kind of
Speaker 2: good Just thought the best thing to do was get
Speaker 2: a good mental sweat, you know, try to really be
Speaker 2: focused on what we're doing assignment wise, and get ready
Speaker 2: for Sunday.
Speaker 1: Looks like Montgomery's not gonna play for them. I think
Speaker 1: Dan Cavil said, mir gives gonna handle a pretty big load.
Speaker 1: What have you seen from Gibbs? You know it takes that.
Speaker 2: Bart well, we watch him in college obviously, you know.
Speaker 2: And he's very talented, very elusive, tough, hard running back
Speaker 2: and the snaps he's taken so far for the lines
Speaker 2: have been the same. So and he's very versatile, do
Speaker 2: everything they can do in the backfield, lines up as
Speaker 2: a receiver, a lot of screens, all those things. John
Speaker 2: Dryll Suggs got to get the toughs sing fun or.
Speaker 1: What stories can you share of Suggs?
Speaker 2: And keep in mind you're on a live stream right exactly,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, you guys know most of the stories.
Speaker 2: You know the fans of those stories, because that's a
Speaker 2: great thing about Terrell Suggs. You know, he was he
Speaker 2: kind of an open book. You know, it wasn't anything
Speaker 2: that he was trying to hide. You know who he was.
Speaker 2: Who he was. Some of the things he would say
Speaker 2: to kickers out there would probably be better left unsaid
Speaker 2: in the public sphere. But he made him he made
Speaker 2: he made tough enough kickers, you know his his I
Speaker 2: think his whole thing was to make it tough on
Speaker 2: kickers at practice. I think Tucker could tell you that
Speaker 2: he said some pretty funny things. But just he was
Speaker 2: a guy that I think just enjoyed the game. You know,
Speaker 2: he enjoyed every part of the game, the physical part
Speaker 2: of the game, the relationship part of the game, like
Speaker 2: being the villain, like he would talk about part of
Speaker 2: the game. I think he loved being a Raven. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a great honor. Congratulations. It was an honor to
Speaker 2: coach him to be a part of his career. It's
Speaker 2: one of the things I'll cherish the most, you know,
Speaker 2: looking back on it someday for practice this week, I
Speaker 2: look good, look good. Yeah, you couldn't see him back
Speaker 2: out there. WANs it all going up when you were
Speaker 2: in there. Yeah, I mean I wouldn't say we were
Speaker 2: Michigan fans, you know what I mean, You're more of
Speaker 2: a and I was. I grew up a Browns fan,
Speaker 2: so but kind of a Tigers fan. Definitely a Red
Speaker 2: Wings fan. Piston's fan during the bad boy years, for sure.

Speaker 2: to the Lions though, she's a Raven fan and she
Speaker 2: likes the So any plans for to step the team,
Speaker 2: the poble, I think I think if he shows up
Speaker 2: and he's got a word. Definitely. We were kind of
Speaker 2: that way with everybody, and you wouldn't you know, a
Speaker 2: legend like that, a guy that understands what it's all about.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: The guys would love to hear from him. I'd love
Speaker 2: to hear from him, and that'd be awesome if it
Speaker 2: works out.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell when he was playing, he was kind of
Speaker 2: a cowboy's Eagles.
Speaker 1: Did he play special teams? Did you have to?
Speaker 2: I remember him out there though. If he was a
Speaker 2: special teams deamon, I definitely would have remembered him. But
Speaker 2: but but he was a heck of a tight end.
Speaker 2: I know that h and a very physical player. So
Speaker 2: much respect for coach Campbell, uh, you know, as as
Speaker 2: as a player, of course, but really as a coach.
Speaker 2: I mean what he's done as a coach and what
Speaker 2: he's all about, how he wants his teams to play
Speaker 2: very clear cut, you know, and I love the colorful
Speaker 2: way he explains it and expresses. I think great coaches
Speaker 2: have a knack for doing that as well. And he's
Speaker 2: got those guys playing at a really high level.
Speaker 3: He has a cafee of the back then as he is.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know I didn't know him
Speaker 2: as a player, he was ever on one of my
Speaker 2: teams or anything. You know, He's yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1: wondering if you gotten any tips on Aiden Hutchinson from
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald.

Speaker 3: I didn't really say anything about him, but you know,
Speaker 3: we got a lot of a lot of film on him.
Speaker 1: So yeah, what stands out about him on film?
Speaker 3: His effort. You know, he definitely never gives up on play,
Speaker 3: good instincts, and you know, it just seems to be
Speaker 3: around the ball a lot.
Speaker 1: It seems like you're coming off a good game.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like physically that you're kind of getting
Speaker 1: back to where you want to be?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, you know, I definitely feel like I'm getting
Speaker 3: better and I'm still nowhere near, you know, to my
Speaker 3: standard of play, but definitely improving him. You know, definitely
Speaker 3: gonna take another step this week as well.
Speaker 1: What do you think just generally about this Lion's defensive front.
Speaker 3: I think they're a good front, you know, I think
Speaker 3: they're well coached, they'll play well, you know, they'll have
Speaker 3: a different skill sets, different move menu, and you know,
Speaker 3: fundamentals really have to show this week.
