Speaker 1: We're coming together pretty well. I think. UM. We just
Speaker 1: started over the last couple of days actually rotating guys
Speaker 1: in different spots. So where we had Nolan Carroll and
Speaker 1: Walter Thurman running with the ones, this pretty much the
Speaker 1: last couple of days they've been with the twos and
Speaker 1: we've gotten Chris Marrigos and Eric row up. UM. We've
Speaker 1: been able to put in a couple more packages with
Speaker 1: Nolan Carroll getting some reaps of the dime UM, a
Speaker 1: couple other guys in at the nickel position, with E. J.
Speaker 1: Biggers rotating with the ones too. So we're moving around
Speaker 1: with a lot, with a lot of different guys to see,
Speaker 1: you know, all the situations, to get guys jelling with
Speaker 1: different different people, see how they communicate. UM. But when
Speaker 1: we had Maxwell, Nolan Carroll, myself and and I'll watch
Speaker 1: the Thurmond on the other side, the chemistry is there,
Speaker 1: and guys are veterans in this game play some football. UM.
Speaker 1: Communications great, We're flying around competitive UM and we're focusing
Speaker 1: a lot more on the technique. So I think it's
Speaker 1: coming along well. How would especially pieces well, I think
Speaker 1: you bring in quality guys who want to win in
Speaker 1: our competitive and want to be the best. Um, it's
Speaker 1: easy to get along. I think everybody comes to work
Speaker 1: every day with a positive attitude. Uh, guys are thirsty
Speaker 1: to really play well, um and succeed and dominate. You know,
Speaker 1: we're not we're not happy with just you know, being
Speaker 1: a little bit better than we were last year. We
Speaker 1: want to be the best in this league and every
Speaker 1: day we come out here, we're competing to do that.
Speaker 1: Bringing Bier and a lot of the young guys coming
Speaker 1: through the draft kind of dress for you or do
Speaker 1: you think there's growing pains in terms of get everybody
Speaker 1: on the same page. Uh? Yeah, I think I think
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be growing pains bringing in new guys.
Speaker 1: But I think we're further ahead than we planned to
Speaker 1: be at this point with all the new faces that
Speaker 1: we have. I think we're actually as far as the
Speaker 1: game playing situation, we're a lot further ahead. And we
Speaker 1: were at at our last game last year. And so
Speaker 1: that's that's a testament to the coaching and to some
Speaker 1: of the guys that they've bring brought in. But there's
Speaker 1: always things, especially with the younger players, UM, just mistakes
Speaker 1: that they're gonna make. Um, you know that they are
Speaker 1: gonna have to learn and um so there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some growing pains, but that's what training camps forward. That's
Speaker 1: why we we rotate the depth chart to make sure
Speaker 1: guys get reps not only with the twos but the ones. Um.
Speaker 1: So you get those quality reps against different quarterbacks, different receivers. Um.
Speaker 1: But I think right now, at this pace or at
Speaker 1: this point, we're ahead of pace as far as where
Speaker 1: we wanted to be as a secondary as a defense defense,
Speaker 1: I don't think it does you. I mean, you still
Speaker 1: have Michael Kendricks and um Demiko Ryan's out there, you know,
Speaker 1: which is our starters last year, and you still got
Speaker 1: quality backups or Nag Good Emanueatro coming in and you
Speaker 1: get you know, other guys to come in, Um Jordan Hicks,
Speaker 1: all those guys get more reps and that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's good for us. And it's only two positions.
Speaker 1: We've got three starters at the position, so that that
Speaker 1: rotation is going to be huge for us anyway. UM
Speaker 1: So right now, this early in Campa doesn't doesn't really
Speaker 1: affect us too much. Wow. I think the football part
Speaker 1: of it was very easy and very apparent as soon
Speaker 1: as he stepped in, and he's making plays left and right.
Speaker 1: I think over the offseason the biggest adjustment was the
Speaker 1: verbiage and UM kind of getting guys lined up, making
Speaker 1: the calls loud and UM making all the adjustments as
Speaker 1: a safety. UM. But this this training camp so far,
Speaker 1: he's adjusted well. He's making the calls. UM. They put
Speaker 1: him down the last couple of days with the twos
Speaker 1: just to rotate them. So now he's kind of the
Speaker 1: voice of that group, so he has to make all
Speaker 1: the calls, has to get everybody lined up, and I
Speaker 1: think he's done well. UM. So he's spitting in really well.
Speaker 1: He's definitely making plays. And as soon as that UM,
Speaker 1: that other piece, the leadership part and the signal calling
Speaker 1: kind of catches up, I think, I think be great.
Speaker 1: He's competitive, he's big, he's long. UM. You know, we've
Speaker 1: we put him up with the ones the last couple
Speaker 1: of days, so you start to see some of the
Speaker 1: rookie mistakes when he's going against you know, some of
Speaker 1: the top tier receivers. UM. But you know, he's definitely
Speaker 1: got the talent, he's got the do you want to
Speaker 1: to to be a player in this league, and you know,
Speaker 1: right now it's just about kind of throwing him in
Speaker 1: the fire and see what seeing what he can do,
Speaker 1: seeing how he responds, um, you know, after getting beat
Speaker 1: and realizing how that happens to everybody. But we're excited.
Speaker 1: I think all of our young guys are playing well,
Speaker 1: um you know, and it's we got Denzel Rice is
Speaker 1: coming in, you know, undrafted and you know he's really
Speaker 1: jumped off a tape on special teams on on defense. Um,
Speaker 1: you got Jecord Shepherd just came in and played well.
Speaker 1: So we're excited about the young rookies we got there.
Speaker 1: They're playing hard, they're battling, um you know, and obviously
Speaker 1: they're gonna make some mistakes. Kind of. I think it's
Speaker 1: just everybody working collectively as a unit and from coaching
Speaker 1: to players. So whereas last year we weren't always on
Speaker 1: the same page or how we saw different things, Different
Speaker 1: rooms saw different ways, I think collectively everybody sees the
Speaker 1: playbook and sees our scheme the same exact way, and
Speaker 1: we're developing it. You know, guys are coming up with
Speaker 1: different ways to play, certain techniques, and our coaches are
Speaker 1: being very receptive to that and making adjustments and keeping
Speaker 1: us up to date on all the adjustments. So you know,
Speaker 1: being on the same page has allowed us to really
Speaker 1: develop the playbook and just having all the versa of
Speaker 1: the players that we have, you know, with having three
Speaker 1: start linebackers, you can create different packages. All our pretty
Speaker 1: much all of our dbs play multiple positions, whether it
Speaker 1: be the dime, the nickel, safety and corner, and so
Speaker 1: you can get creative with your package. Is there. So
Speaker 1: it just gives us so many different options, which just
Speaker 1: expands our play book, which makes us better as a defense. Uh. Well,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the things we've learned is
Speaker 1: you know, by fire basically. You know, we've learned through
Speaker 1: the years we've been in the league making mistakes, um,
Speaker 1: and they've really got to go through that process as well.
Speaker 1: So the biggest thing we can show them is some
Speaker 1: of the tricks of the trade, um, you know, coach
Speaker 1: them up on things that we see and how we
Speaker 1: how we've made the game slow down for ourselves. And
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the biggest thing for young players.
Speaker 1: The games always seems a lot faster because you're not
Speaker 1: sure what you're looking at. You're looking at everything is
Speaker 1: moving fast and you don't know how to process at all.
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing we try to get them to
Speaker 1: do is just slow the pace of the game down,
Speaker 1: look at their keys, what they're supposed to have our
Speaker 1: eyes on, and just focus on our technique and uh
Speaker 1: it usually it usually translates well for them. All right,
Speaker 1: I have now
