1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: So the first few days been like for you? I

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: mean I remember pretty good, you know. Um, able to

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: get back out here. Um, you know, knocked some of

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: the dust off from being away for a little bit.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,079
Speaker 1: But uh, we're going to be back out here with

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: the guys and get things rolling. Were your expectations for

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: this defense? For the defense? Um, I think we could

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: be one of the top for the league. You know. Um,

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: obviously you know the guys that's been here being there

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: second year under the defense and you know, myself along

11
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: with some some some other guys being the first year

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: coming in and plugging in and you know, making it happen.

13
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: And what do you you have a kind of a

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: front row seat just watching what's going on in front

15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: with that defensive one, that young defensive line. What have

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: you seen and what do you like about how that

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: unit is coming together? Um? I think they're jeling together

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: are really well. But obviously, you know, we gotta wait

19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: till week we get the paths on and get in

20
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: front of some other teams. But so far, so good,

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: you know. Um, obviously they're taking everything in really well,

22
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: and we'll have to wait and see how is the

23
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: communication overall? The defense spending considering all the new guys

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: and the young guys who are learning, making mistakes, correcting

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: mistakes and all that stuff. I think the communication has

26
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: been great, you know, for the first um, you know,

27
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: two days, all the camps I've been in, I can

28
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: say that's been good. You know. Obviously, gonna make some

29
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: mistakes as far technique wise, but um, communication wise, not

30
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: making a lot of mistakes as far as um, you know,

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: as far as communication, I think we've been doing a

32
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: good job so far. Your teammates, Joe there, it was

33
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: your birthday today, but it's your birthday today. I don't

34
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: think they know. They didn't know until, you know, obviously

35
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: social media or whatever the case. Maybe yeah, um, any

36
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: kidding not okay, no better than two I get enough

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: of that, you know, when it's not my birthday. I mean,

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: do you do you? Do you? I mean you know today?

39
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure they respect, how won't you've been in the league,

40
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: But then they kind of young guys probably have show

41
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: respecting different ways. How many show respect, you know, a

42
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: little jabby in there, but when it comes with it. Yeah,

43
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: as one of the kind of veteran voices on the team,

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: I know it's happening on the offense. But how do

45
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: you prevent guys from finding excuses like if there's a

46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: lot of injuries, have a guy appealing in suspension, how

47
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: do you make guys focused and not look for excuses

48
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: like we've had this tough start to camp at I mean,

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the way the league goes this next man up, you know,

50
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: whatever the situation is, UM. Obviously, you know you don't

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: want those things to happen UM. So as injury wise,

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, we play physical games, so that's gonna happen UM.

53
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: So you know, for the for the young guys, it's

54
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: the next man up, and then you gotta look at

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: the positive slides, the opportunity for somebody to come up

56
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: and and get seen. So you know, as a as

57
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: a team, we gotta come together right together and we're

58
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: end it together. You were in here last year obviously,

59
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: but the finishing was was was a big problem for

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: this team last year and and it seems to be

61
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: a point of emphasis so far so far this year.

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: How how do you teach a young team how to

63
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: do that? How what's what's the key to doing that?

64
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean, some of that is experienced, but as older

65
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: guys and leaders. We gotta we gotta league and um,

66
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: you know, one of the one of the things when

67
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: I was a young guy, Um, the coach you always

68
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: tell us, you know, follow the older guys. So being

69
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: an older guy, you know, I gotta do all the

70
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: right things so the young guys can can see me

71
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: do it and they can follow in the same footsteps.

72
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: Has there anything, Has there been any specific um uh

73
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: emphasis though on completing things and and you know going

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: through to the end, and yeah, for sure, I mean,

75
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: um started in spring, you know, like you said, it

76
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: was one of the main emphasis that h that coach

77
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: had and um, we don't care that throughout training camp

78
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: and throughout the season. That's one How much is there

79
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: enough check now that the pads go on today, does

80
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: a mental switch kind of clicking the head and things

81
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: get real so to speak. That's a that's that's natural. Um.

82
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: But as if that, you know, my advice is trying

83
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: to keep the practice the same way. At the end

84
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: of the day, you know you've got your pass on,

85
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna bang a little more. He's gonna

86
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: be more m it's gonna be a little bit more physical.

87
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day. We still teammates.

88
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: We still gotta take care of one another. Um. You know,

89
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: had enough injuries. Um as it is without paths so um,

90
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: but you just gotta be smart. But at the end

91
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: of the day, like you said, it's a it's a

92
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: we got the paths on its human nature for for

93
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: us to get you know, a little bit more physical

94
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: when the past get on
