WEBVTT - Press Pass: Malcolm Jenkins

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>We're coming together pretty well. I think. UM. We just

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>started over the last couple of days actually rotating guys

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>in different spots. So where we had Nolan Carroll and

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Walter Thurman running with the ones, this pretty much the

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>last couple of days they've been with the twos and

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>we've gotten Chris Marrigos and Eric row up. UM. We've

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.479
<v Speaker 1>been able to put in a couple more packages with

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Nolan Carroll getting some reaps of the dime UM, a

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>couple other guys in at the nickel position, with E. J.

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Biggers rotating with the ones too. So we're moving around

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>with a lot, with a lot of different guys to see,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, all the situations, to get guys jelling with

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>different different people, see how they communicate. UM. But when

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>we had Maxwell, Nolan Carroll, myself and and I'll watch

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the Thurmond on the other side, the chemistry is there,

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and guys are veterans in this game play some football. UM.

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Communications great, We're flying around competitive UM and we're focusing

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot more on the technique. So I think it's

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:12.399
<v Speaker 1>coming along well. How would especially pieces well, I think

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you bring in quality guys who want to win in

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>our competitive and want to be the best. Um, it's

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.479
<v Speaker 1>easy to get along. I think everybody comes to work

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>every day with a positive attitude. Uh, guys are thirsty

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to really play well, um and succeed and dominate. You know,

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>we're not we're not happy with just you know, being

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit better than we were last year. We

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>want to be the best in this league and every

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>day we come out here, we're competing to do that.

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Bringing Bier and a lot of the young guys coming

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>through the draft kind of dress for you or do

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you think there's growing pains in terms of get everybody

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>on the same page. Uh? Yeah, I think I think

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>there's always gonna be growing pains bringing in new guys.

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>But I think we're further ahead than we planned to

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>be at this point with all the new faces that

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>we have. I think we're actually as far as the

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>game playing situation, we're a lot further ahead. And we

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>were at at our last game last year. And so

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a testament to the coaching and to some

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of the guys that they've bring brought in. But there's

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>always things, especially with the younger players, UM, just mistakes

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna make. Um, you know that they are

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to learn and um so there's gonna be

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>some growing pains, but that's what training camps forward. That's

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>why we we rotate the depth chart to make sure

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>guys get reps not only with the twos but the ones. Um.

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>So you get those quality reps against different quarterbacks, different receivers. Um.

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>But I think right now, at this pace or at

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.119
<v Speaker 1>this point, we're ahead of pace as far as where

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to be as a secondary as a defense defense,

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it does you. I mean, you still

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>have Michael Kendricks and um Demiko Ryan's out there, you know,

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>which is our starters last year, and you still got

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.679
<v Speaker 1>quality backups or Nag Good Emanueatro coming in and you

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>get you know, other guys to come in, Um Jordan Hicks,

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>all those guys get more reps and that's you know,

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that's that's good for us. And it's only two positions.

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>We've got three starters at the position, so that that

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>rotation is going to be huge for us anyway. UM

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>So right now, this early in Campa doesn't doesn't really

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>affect us too much. Wow. I think the football part

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of it was very easy and very apparent as soon

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>as he stepped in, and he's making plays left and right.

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>I think over the offseason the biggest adjustment was the

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 1>verbiage and UM kind of getting guys lined up, making

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the calls loud and UM making all the adjustments as

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a safety. UM. But this this training camp so far,

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>he's adjusted well. He's making the calls. UM. They put

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>him down the last couple of days with the twos

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>just to rotate them. So now he's kind of the

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>voice of that group, so he has to make all

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the calls, has to get everybody lined up, and I

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>think he's done well. UM. So he's spitting in really well.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>He's definitely making plays. And as soon as that UM,

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that other piece, the leadership part and the signal calling

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of catches up, I think, I think be great.

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>He's competitive, he's big, he's long. UM. You know, we've

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>we put him up with the ones the last couple

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>of days, so you start to see some of the

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>rookie mistakes when he's going against you know, some of

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the top tier receivers. UM. But you know, he's definitely

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 1>got the talent, he's got the do you want to

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to to be a player in this league, and you know,

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>right now it's just about kind of throwing him in

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 1>the fire and see what seeing what he can do,

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>seeing how he responds, um, you know, after getting beat

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and realizing how that happens to everybody. But we're excited.

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I think all of our young guys are playing well,

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>um you know, and it's we got Denzel Rice is

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>coming in, you know, undrafted and you know he's really

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>jumped off a tape on special teams on on defense. Um,

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>you got Jecord Shepherd just came in and played well.

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>So we're excited about the young rookies we got there.

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>They're playing hard, they're battling, um you know, and obviously

0:04:50.200 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna make some mistakes. Kind of. I think it's

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>just everybody working collectively as a unit and from coaching

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>to players. So whereas last year we weren't always on

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the same page or how we saw different things, Different

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>rooms saw different ways, I think collectively everybody sees the

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 1>playbook and sees our scheme the same exact way, and

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 1>we're developing it. You know, guys are coming up with

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>different ways to play, certain techniques, and our coaches are

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>being very receptive to that and making adjustments and keeping

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 1>us up to date on all the adjustments. So you know,

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>being on the same page has allowed us to really

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>develop the playbook and just having all the versa of

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the players that we have, you know, with having three

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:47.119
<v Speaker 1>start linebackers, you can create different packages. All our pretty

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 1>much all of our dbs play multiple positions, whether it

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>be the dime, the nickel, safety and corner, and so

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you can get creative with your package. Is there. So

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>it just gives us so many different options, which just

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>expands our play book, which makes us better as a defense. Uh. Well,

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you know a lot of the things we've learned is

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, by fire basically. You know, we've learned through

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the years we've been in the league making mistakes, um,

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and they've really got to go through that process as well.

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>So the biggest thing we can show them is some

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of the tricks of the trade, um, you know, coach

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>them up on things that we see and how we

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.919
<v Speaker 1>how we've made the game slow down for ourselves. And

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that's that's the biggest thing for young players.

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>The games always seems a lot faster because you're not

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 1>sure what you're looking at. You're looking at everything is

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>moving fast and you don't know how to process at all.

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>But the biggest thing we try to get them to

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>do is just slow the pace of the game down,

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>look at their keys, what they're supposed to have our

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>eyes on, and just focus on our technique and uh

0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>it usually it usually translates well for them. All right,

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I have now
