1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Last time, you spoke to a lot of uncertainty with 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: the coaching staff. 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 2: But just since, what's your reaction to the turnover? 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 3: And obviously particularly with Wink, you know, it's the NFL, 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 3: so this player coaches, player changes, coaching changes every year. 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 3: I loved Wink, love playing for him, but I'm very 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 3: excited to be a part of Shane's defense. You know, 8 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 3: got a great feel of the energy that you know 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 3: we're gonna cultivate this year, just with the scheme. We're 10 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,319 Speaker 3: gonna run the defensive style. So it's been a great 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 3: first day. 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: How can you describe the scheme of the style, Like 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: how much different do you expect to be? How big 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: is that learning curve going to be a for you 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: guys who have been here the last year or. 16 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 3: Two, shouldn't be too much. I mean, emphasis is really 17 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 3: gonna be on our style. Just physicality, full tilt, speed 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 3: to the ball, effort. We'll get into the scheme stuff later, 19 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 3: but it just feels like everything's gonna be simplified. 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 4: Thanks Aid you traina Hey Bobby, how are you good? 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: Patty? How are you? 22 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 4: I'm good? Thank you, Bobby. I wanted to get your 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 4: take on this new ban of the hip drop tackle 24 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 4: and how much more difficult that makes your life as 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 4: a defender. 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely another thing for us to be aware 27 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: of as defenders. You know, it's tough. They tell you, you know, 28 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: run your feet on tackles, so you can kind of 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: run through that guy. But at the end of the day, 30 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: our jobs to get the guy down. So you know, 31 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 3: it'll be an emphasis for us in training camp going forward, 32 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 3: just focusing on that, but I assume that it'll be 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: an acclimation period for all of us. 34 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 4: I mean, how much more difficult has to defense this 35 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 4: job become with all these safety rules that they're putting in, 36 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 4: including you know, when you sack a quarterback, you can't 37 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 4: land with your body weight on him, or you know, 38 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 4: the helmet leading with the helmet when a guy turns 39 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: and you're not really you know, now your helmet makes contact. 40 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 4: Can you just talk about that. 41 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: I mean, it's tough because player safety should always be 42 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: the emphasis. But at the end of the day, we 43 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: all have a job to get to do and this 44 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: is how you know, we get paid, We feed our families, 45 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 3: you know, this our livelihoods. So, uh, it's kind of 46 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: a tug of war between the two and you know, 47 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 3: you know, just trusting the league office and everyone involved 48 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 3: to you know, come to the right conclusion. 49 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 4: Thanks Bobby, Thank you.

When you bring another one in, what do 56 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 5: you you know, what's your reaction When did you find 57 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 5: out and what kind of player do you believe he is? 58 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was very excited. I mean, he's a dynamic 59 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: pass rusher. Seeing him today for the first time in person, 60 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: He's big, big, physical guy. So I'm just excited. It's 61 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: gonna bolst the whole defense, especially that defensive end room. 62 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: I think you know, it's only going to bring up 63 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: the play of Cavan and disease. Uh So I think 64 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 3: everybody's excited. 65 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 5: You like seeing a lot of those guys in front 66 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 5: of you. Shane's talked about being aggressive with that front. 67 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 5: You know that puts a little bit more pressure on 68 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 5: you guys. 69 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: In the middle. One hundred percent. I mean, it all, 70 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: it all starts up with decks up front. 71 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's a man among he's a man 72 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 3: among other men. So yeah, just you know, the group 73 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 3: working together in continuity, it's only gonna help everybody. 74 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: Thanks appreciate it.

Can you see me? 77 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: Yes? 78 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 7: Okay, thank you. 79 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 6: When one of my last stories I wrote with wynk 80 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 6: he was comparing Xavier and you to Ray and Ed 81 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 6: Reid And now everyone's gone essentially except you. 82 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: I mean, as a football. 83 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 6: Player this time of year, or do you just have 84 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 6: how do you adjust to the new teammates coming in? 85 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 6: And obviously I'm guessing you said goodbye to some pretty 86 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 6: good friends. 87 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I mean that's the nature of the beast. 88 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: In the NFL, it's a year to year operation. In season, 89 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: it's a week to week operation. So the best thing 90 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 3: for us to take a day, day by day, day 91 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: to time approach. But yeah, there's so much turnover in 92 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 3: the league from players to coaches. I mean, I have 93 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: lifelong friends in Indianapolis I played with, and some of 94 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: those guys only see you a couple of times a 95 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: year at weddings or off season or whatever. So you know, 96 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 3: we just understand that's the nature of the beast in 97 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: the NFL. 98 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 6: What's your challenge for yourself this spring? Where do you 99 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 6: want to be a better person when this spring ends? 100 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 3: I think just double down on my leadership coming in 101 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: last year as a free agent, trying to feel my 102 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: way around, understand the dynamic of the team, and you know, 103 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 3: growing my leadership role now coming in just you know, 104 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 3: coming starting fast. Really, that's the emphasis Davis has put 105 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 3: on all of us. So from a leadership standpoints, starting fast, 106 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: from a conditioning standpoint, strength standpoint, just get myself in 107 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 3: top shape so I can go out there and perform 108 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: real quick. 109 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,559 Speaker 6: When he said start fast, do you think he's also 110 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 6: fast forwarding in a way to the season. 111 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 3: And you know that's the approach that we got to 112 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: cultivate now, Okay, appreciate it. 113 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: Yea, thank you. Kim, Paul Schwartz, Hey, Bobby, Hey Paul, 114 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: how's it going good? 115 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 7: I am gonna quote you now. You said earlier it 116 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 7: feels like everything's going to be simplified. Yeah, okay, you 117 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 7: hear that a lot when a new guy comes in. 118 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 7: If it's too simple. They say, we got to get 119 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 7: more scheme. You know, when you've had a lot of scheme. 120 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 7: The guy comes in and says, we're gonna play fast 121 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 7: and physical and violent. We're not gonna make guys think 122 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 7: too much. So what does that mean to you? With 123 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 7: what he is saying about what this defense is gonna be. 124 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a dance. Obviously, it takes both. 125 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: It takes scheme and it just takes you know, the 126 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 3: physical aspect of the game. You know, people talk about 127 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 3: playing football, and people talk about playing football. You can 128 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: play football and everybody's you know, in their A gap, 129 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 3: their B gap set in their arm, you know, playing 130 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: fundamentally sound defense. And then you can play football where 131 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 3: everybody's just playing physical and violet and coming downhill. So 132 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 3: we got to find our happy medium somewhere on that spectrum. 133 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: But just love the energy and you know, love the 134 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: start that we've made this first day. 135 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 7: It does sound like, you know, if Shane can if 136 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 7: his preference, you know, if it can work, then he 137 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 7: wants to get pressure with the guy the front four, right, 138 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 7: you know, which is different than in the past. 139 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: I Mean, those guys are going to be challenged. You 140 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: go get them and everyone else does their job. Do 141 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: you sense that? 142 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 7: And how different and exciting or maybe not exciting is 143 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 7: that for you? 144 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 145 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: I mean I got a good feel, you know, especially 146 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: in wings defense. Last year we got to blitz. There 147 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: was a lot of multiples, a lot of moving parts. 148 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: So I'm very fortunate to play in that defense. I 149 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 3: feel like, you know, it was another tool I added 150 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: to my tool belt. So to now take some of 151 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: those skills, those skills I learned in my previous years 152 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: in Indianapolis and add it to this style of defense, Uh, 153 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: I only think it's gonna help me be a better player, 154 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: and you know the other players as well. Your sack, 155 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: your sack numbers might go down a little bit, might 156 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 3: go down a little bit, but you know, uh, you know, 157 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: if I'm improving in other areas like interceptions, force fumbles, 158 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: you know, as long as the team wins, I'm a 159 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: happy guy. 160 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: Thank you. I'm Rack, Hey Bob, good to see you. 161 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 8: Uh tell me about what the key is to forging 162 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 8: a relationship with a defensive coordinator. You're I do imagine 163 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 8: you probably haven't had the conversations yet, but I would 164 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 8: imagine you expect to have the green dot again and 165 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 8: be sort of the extension of shade on the field 166 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 8: this season. How does that how does that begin, how 167 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 8: does that cover?
