1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: Oh, offer you doing off season has been great? You

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: know it's good, come come back, get back to work.

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: So the stacking day by day, getting ready to count.

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: What type of momentum?

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Did you better?

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 3: What you say the off season?

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, just being on the field, you get more,

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: like you said, momental more confidence. So just getting the

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: feel for how everything go. You know, that's uh, that's

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: just as much motivation as you need for next season.

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: Made a couple of plays last year, but it's always

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: the goal to make more plays as the year go on.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: Next year, next year.

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: So just stack now, You're good? You good?

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: Where have you seen? Where have you seen?

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Drake improved from where he was last year at this point?

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: And I would say I can't really speak for Drake,

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of focus on what I need

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: to improve on. But I know as players, everybody got

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: their own perspective of what they need to improve on.

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: So I just feel like, maybe, you know, he just

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: worked on what he had to and just coming back strong.

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: So I feel like it all come to life when

24
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: we encamp with pads and we get a real look.

25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: So how'd you describe the competition in the whatever room

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: right now?

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: I know you know, we got a lot of guys's

28
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: twelve of us at the end of the day probably

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: be six six of us if we're being honest. So

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: every day another opportunity to get better.

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 3: Be great.

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: So we all know we in competition, but it's up

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: to us at the end of the day.

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: So Ki, show what did.

35
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: You learned last year?

36
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: The whole years?

37
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: Not easier times? Made some plays kind of things did

38
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: you learn to kind of prepare you continue what you

39
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: want to do in the NFL.

40
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: I feel like, like I said earlier, you know, just

41
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: kind of making a couple of plays. You know, uh,

42
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: finished five hundred eighty nine yards three touchdowns. You know,

43
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: everybody got goals on being a thousand yard receivers and

44
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but they start with days like this,

45
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, just working with a team, getting on the

46
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: same path as Drake can. As long as we're on

47
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: the same page, everything else could take. I feel like

48
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: we could be so much better, you know, I feel

49
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: like we haven't really reached our potential. So I feel

50
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: like as Pleasure is always wanted.

51
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 5: To improve, let be interactive to stuff on DAGs.

52
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 6: So far.

53
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: He hasn't. He hasn't been here much, but We talked

54
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: to him every time he comes, so it's been great talks. System.

55
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: I feel like it's not bad since I've been in

56
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, had a new offensive coordinator every year, and

57
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: then the LSU two three three years straight new offensive cardinator,

58
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: So it's nothing new to me here a few years

59
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: with so much Dude, I feel like you're on.

60
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 5: A be team a little bit.

61
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: No, I don't feel new. You know, Foxboro kind of

62
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: starting to feel like home going into my third year.

63
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: So it's just what I'm used to having kV out there.

64
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 6: For this part of or like this part of the

65
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 6: off season, because last year here.

66
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's good to have a

67
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: vet in the room. You know, he could be one

68
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: of those vets that's just like he don't need to come.

69
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: He experienced like stuff like that. But I think it

70
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: means a lot to me that he here putting in

71
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: the work with us every day, So that means a lot.

72
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: N No, you needed to stop dancing.

73
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 4: Recorded trade talks before the draft, did you.

74
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean I heard about it, but I tried not

75
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: to really, uh really put too much time into that.

76
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: You know, it's just a lot of people and just

77
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: sitting behind phones just typing. So got nothing really to

78
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: do with me.

79
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 6: But.

80
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: I'm good. Good to see you.

81
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of thoughts on how you guys are regressing

82
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: and getting all this new stuff.

83
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, we're figuring out every day is the you know,

84
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 6: there's a new mistake, which is a good thing. As

85
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 6: long as we aren't repeat offenders, you know, we'll be

86
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 6: better as a team.

87
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing you've seen about team so far.

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 6: Effort effort. Yeah, everyone's flying to the ball, even the

89
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 6: big guys out of the stack, guy corners who are

90
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 6: on the opposite side of the field. Every one's running

91
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 6: to the ball.

92
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: Playing.

93
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 6: It spills, It spills a lot of fun. He's so wise,

94
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 6: he's funny, he's intense, and he's my guy.

95
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, because pretty fast here.

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, we have a lot of similarities. We're

97
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 6: both we both have fun when we're out there together.

98
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 5: Appreciate would describe the temple you guys want to establish.

99
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 5: How are you experiencing?

100
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, the temple has been really good. You know

101
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 6: in O t As it's hard to get a full

102
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 6: fiel because we're in pads. But for the most part,

103
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 6: I think the offense and the defense have done really

104
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 6: well in that area. How difficult is it?

105
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 5: Because Michael says beforehander, you want the guys to go

106
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 5: full speed, but you have to showy stray when you

107
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 5: are talk.

108
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 6: You know, I think it's the rookies who have the

109
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 6: hardest time with it. You kind of learn as the

110
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 6: day go on, and the more years you do it,

111
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 6: the easier it gets. But you kind of just have

112
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 6: to learn on your own, you know, by watching people

113
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 6: and by doing it.

114
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 4: No games right now, but what does it mean for

115
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: you to be out there like the first group, you

116
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 4: know and considering where you can.

117
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: Go in your career.

118
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, it's been a blessing. God has blessed me.

119
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 6: I cannot complain. It's been a lot of fun. Yeah,

120
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 6: so I can't. I can't be more grateful.

00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I just try to be the same guy

138

00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: season comes, you can play to it.

162
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 6: Robert just said that he thought collectively he was pretty

163
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: convinced that.

164
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: You guys can have a really good defensive. Or do

165
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: you concur that if we keep going well, we need

166
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: to do the way we need to do it. I

167
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: definitely concur have another chance to talk to you. I'm

168
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: just happy it is over it. I get back to

169
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: doing what I love to do, Uh, learning experience. You know,

170
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: I definitely gonna learn from it.

171
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: How much is this.

172
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: Come in and stop stop a fresh start for you?

173
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: Uh?

174
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: I think every year in the league is a fresh start,

175
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: you know, no matter how well you do it, how

176
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: bad you do if you're lucky enough and have the

177
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: opportunity to sit in one of these seats, you know,

178
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: year year in and year out, that's a new opportunity

179
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: to prove yourself. So I always look forward to that,

180
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: you know, whether I do well, whether the the year

181
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: that or go the way I wanted it to.

182
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 3: But you different head coaches.

183
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: Difficult that.

184
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: Not really you know, I played on you know, some

185
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: teams that wasn't that good. Uh, And it was a

186
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: lot of turnover with the coaches, so you know, I

187
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: I could kind of adjust, I could kind of habituate anything.

188
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: But typically you know, football guys, football coaches.

189
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Uh.

190
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: You know, we definitely messed real well together.

191
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 3: New faces.

192
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: Where are you guys, just in terms of coming together.

193
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all we're trying to do, you know,

194
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: learn one another. Those guys learn us, We learned them,

195
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: learn how they want us to do things, how they

196
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: see things. So by the time that the season comes,

197
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: we could put it all together, you know how much.

198
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: You know, I ain't never had to win the season,

199
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: so I'll be the first one to tell you I'm

200
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: tired of that. But you know, it starts. It starts

201
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: with the little things. You know, you gotta eliminate bad football.

202
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: You know, gotta be fundamentally sound. You gotta play to

203
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: your identity. And you know whether the adverage it's gonna

204
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: be adversity a year in, the year out. And you know,

205
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: typically the closest teams, you know, they overcome the adversity

206
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: that what fans season just just always am, you know,

207
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: and the jeted guy's gonna play hard to the whistle,

208
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: you know, try to lead by example, you know, get

209
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: all my guys on the same page by by being

210
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: a good communicator and uh, you know, holding gods to

211
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: the stand and those guys holding me to the standard. Yeah,

212
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: I like him, smart, savvy. You know, he's doing a

213
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: great job soaking up what the coaches wanting to do.

214
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: The different techniques. You know, college balls a little different

215
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: than the league, especially in the Pac twelve. Uh so,

216
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: so uh, you know, he's definitely doing a good job.

217
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: Though I'm sorry this coach so far. You know, we're

218
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: just getting started, but I could tell you everyone's hungry.

219
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Everyone's brought in, you know, to the new identity, and

220
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: you know we're gonna do whatever we gotta do to

221
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: get that bad tast out of our mouth. For sure,

222
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: what is a coach head coach with It seems like

223
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: he's chatting on every single play. Yeah, I I met

224
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: coach Raves and I took my visit to Ohio State,

225
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: and uh, I didn't know he was used to play

226
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: a little tight end, you know, Uh, back when Brady

227
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: was here and uh, you know he's he told me

228
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: to line up. I'm like, he's a line back. He

229
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: ain't got he ain't got too much. You know, you're

230
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: out of me up caught the ball. Uh And that's

231
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: one of the first things he said to me when

232
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: he got here. But you know, it's been good man,

233
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: I I I. I definitely think that he knows how

234
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: to get the best out of his players, and I

235
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: definitely think that they like everyone that's brought him.

236
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 4: Last year, a lot of the team captains are uh

237
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: no longer here. You're one of the holdovers to servants

238
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: that sort of leadership. You see yourself fitting into the

239
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 4: new leadership and you approaching different.

240
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: Like I said, it, be the same guy every day,

241
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: you know, try to lead by example, try to do

242
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: things the right way, you know, do things how the

243
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: coach onces it done. And uh, you know it's a

244
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: lot of t it's a lot of turnover in the year,

245
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean in the league year in and year out.

246
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: So I don't really think about all that extra stuff.

247
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: I just know how to beat me and uh, you

248
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: know that's been working pretty well. Scott Book, Uh, I

249
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: remember a coach book when he was at not to day.

250
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm getting old now as I can see. Uh,

251
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: but it's it's it's been real good. You know. He's

252
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: coaches you hard. You know, he holds you to a

253
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 2: high standard because our mistakes are you know, big mistakes

254
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: typically touchdowns exposed to play. So he does a good

255
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: job holding the guy to the standard, coaching you hard,

256
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: you know, making sure your fundamentally sound, and just preaching

257
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: having fun. You know it's supposed to be fun, y'all here.

258
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: He need to start wearing my number. I told he

259
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: wasn't tough enough for it.

260
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: Appreciated, M good, how are you? Yeah, I'd like to

261
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: switch it up. So it's a great opportunity to get

262
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: to know your teammates, get to learn the defense, and

263
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: get to come out here and work every day. So

264
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: we're just trying to get better every day, stack good

265
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: days that good plays and learn from each other. So

266
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: excited to be here making progress every day. About Yeah,

267
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: he's very transparent, intense, straight to the point, you know

268
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: what to expect, which is something I love. As a player.

269
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: All you want is clarity, All you want is clear messaging,

270
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: and that messaging stays true. It's who he is, so

271
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to fake it. He gets to be

272
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: his true self every day.

273
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 5: What do you like about the defense?

274
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: Ah, the people I I strive to be the best

275
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: teammate I could be every day. We got eleven guys

276
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 3: doing that, playing for each other, running to the ball,

277
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: effort and finish on every play. We're gonna have a

278
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: good year for me. I could play in any defense

279
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: across the league. I just want to encourage my teammates

280
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: to be their true selves and leave everything on the fields.

281
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: You guys are kind of already talking about what's do

282
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: with opponents in certain things.

283
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: What allows you guys.

284
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: To get that for you?

285
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the number of starts we have, especially in that

286
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: inside linebacker room. We understand the strengths to certain defenses,

287
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: and we still all have those scars of players that

288
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: beat you in certain defenses. So, whether it's here or

289
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: other teams, all these defenses across the league ideally have

290
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: the same concepts. So we've played in these defenses before,

291
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: and we want to talk through some of the trickier

292
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: downs we need said.

293
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: A year collectively sensitively is because of the personality, because

294
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: of the.

295
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: Coaching or what.

296
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: That's because of the people. At the end of the day,

297
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: players are out there playing games, winning games. Coaches to me,

298
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: they want to get you in the best spot that

299
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: you could be in every time. But at the end

300
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 3: of the day, it's up to players to uh understand

301
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: where that best spot is for them.

302
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: Just for a few.

303
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: Weeks, extremely comfortable. I feel really good with the guys

304
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: around me. I know as a middle linebacker that I

305
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 3: need to trust in my positioning within the scheme of

306
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 3: the defense, which is usually in the center of the defense.

307
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: So I tell the guys around me go make plays.

308
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: I'll make you right, especially the guys in front of me.

309
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: I love an aggressive, hungry D line and it really

310
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: feels like we have that coming out this year. Team

311
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: Building is an important of course, that's that's everything for

312
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: us connect learn and train, and that's what we come

313
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: out here every day to get to know each other better.

314
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: Those uh interpersonal relationships that you have with guys in

315
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: the locker room pay dividends, especially later on in the

316
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 3: season when maybe you got to ask a guy to

317
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: push harder, to do more to help the team, and

318
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 3: you you build those relationships now so that you can

319
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: have the ability to to talk to guys on the team,

320
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: to ask more out of them, to get on the

321
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: same level of communication. So that's what we're looking at,

322
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: without a doubt, part of an example.

323
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: Of what you.

324
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 3: In terms of yeah, we'd like to keep that private. Yeah,

325
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 3: thank you and.

326
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 5: Give your career path. You appreciate ronment where everybody comes

327
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 5: in here.

328
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 6: And you.

329
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're not a starter. I tell the guys

330
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: that aren't starters to train as a starter, to prepare

331
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: to be a starter. I tell cam Riley, if you

332
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: don't come in here with the mindset every day that

333
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: you will be a starter, you never will. They never

334
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: expect young guys to coming this league as undrafted players

335
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: and to rise through the ranks. They don't want it

336
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: to happen. They don't expect it to happen. So I

337
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: tell all these young guys, you got to go make

338
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: that should happen. Like at the end of the day,

339
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 3: nobody expects an undrafted guy to become a three time

340
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: captain middle linebacker. But at the end of the day,

341
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: that's my story and I'm gonna stay true and help

342
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: other guys reach their dream too.

343
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys,
