1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Ros Let's start at the end of practice. The fights

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: you've been around a long time.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 2: Are usually those? Aren't usually those their training cap not

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 2: O t A. What do you think of that?

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: I think it's h a competitive part of the practice,

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: and I think we're all trying to you know, compete

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: and be the best version of us and and everything else.

8
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: A lot of times, Uh, you know, we have a

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: long practice. Like the way we did and the way

10
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: we're working. Things happened, you know, you every great team

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: I've been on, there's been a couple of those. So

12
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: but you know, our guys are all so connected. You know,

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: that's that's sometimes happens. But nothing to worry about.

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 3: Smoking the draft, haven't we?

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Uh?

16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think since the draft? Yeah,

17
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: So what was.

18
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: Your reaction to them trading up and getting Jackson? And

19
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: just yeah, Jackson has been great man. He's he's a

20
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: great worker, a great teammate. We're having fun, all of us.

21
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: We have a really good quarterback room. Guys are so

22
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: focused and you know, working diligently every day. You know

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: he's going to be extremely extremely good talent, you know,

24
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: and everything else.

25
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: You know throughout his career.

26
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Does it change anything for you. You don't having a

27
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: first round pick in the room with you, No.

28
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: It doesn't change anything at all.

29
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is for me is just

30
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: being my best every day leading, you know. Just I

31
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: always think about, you know, just leading everybody, you know,

32
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: just leading every room, every moment, every time I get

33
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: step on the white lines, and the opportunity of that.

34
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: We had a great dinner the other night and all

35
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: the guys and you know ball, all the whole linemen

36
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks and running backs together. We just had a

37
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: good time, just tons of laughs and in good time together.

38
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: So just I think the the fellowship of it all

39
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: is the best part right now. You know, obviously our

40
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: work ethic and what we're doing in the field, but

41
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: when it comes to just you know, the the tight

42
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: knit culture that we're continuing to build and continue to

43
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: grow and we want to have a championship football team

44
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: and in terms of our mentality and our approach and

45
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: how we go about it. And it's not just the games,

46
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: but it's everything that leads up to that. And that's

47
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: the that's the fun part about the game of football.

48
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: Differently, a lot of.

49
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: Us used differently, whether you know, saying okay, part of

50
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: my role now is to be invented, or hey, I

51
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: just go back to my business and it happens naturally.

52
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: How do you sort of view that.

53
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: I've always viewed it as, you know, you're always trying

54
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: to be the best version of you, and then then

55
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: you're always giving back to everybody else. I think that,

56
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's not just about one teammate, it's about

57
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: all teammates.

58
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: It's about everybody in the building.

59
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: It's about you know, from all the way to to

60
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: the quarterback room to the receivers, so the running backs,

61
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: to the tight ends, the old line, and the relationship there,

62
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: all the way to the defensive line, to the to

63
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: the corners and to the all the way to the

64
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: training room. You know, just my relationship with with Bobby,

65
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: my relationship with UH, with Tim. You know, I'm running

66
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: the equipment all the way to you know, the staff

67
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: and everybody who's helping us and making food. All that

68
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: part is is everybody, and I think those are the

69
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: relationships to obviously coach Wellman and what he's doing, and

70
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: Coach Wilson too, and how they're leading us in the

71
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: weight room.

72
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: So it's like to me.

73
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: It's it's it's all all inclusive, you know, and that's

74
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: always the approach.

75
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: You brought us a little insight into how the quarterback

76
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: room works as far as you know, who's taking charge.

77
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 4: Is it a group collaboration, how.

78
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Does it work? Yeah, we always were always communicated. I

79
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: think that the best back rooms I've ever been. And

80
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: we're always super interactive. Our meetings are interactive. Coach Dabs

81
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: does a great job, you know, with interaction. I think

82
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: does a great job interaction. Coache all of our coaches

83
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: do a tremendous job of communicating, and and so I

84
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: think that we have, you know, really really good teachers

85
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: of the game.

86
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: That's been a really fun part.

87
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: And I've had a lot of fun, you know, coming

88
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: in here and just being a part of that and

89
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and then leading in every way,

90
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: you know, my my role and my responsibility obviously help

91
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: our football team win, but also to the lead in

92
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: every way. And been fortunate to be able to see

93
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: a lot of football and communicate all that and understand

94
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: it all. And so we're always constantly growing, always constantly

95
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: sharing and collaborate and thinking and processing.

96
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: You mentioned that you're always learning what have you learned

97
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: being you know, you would think you've seen it all,

98
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 4: done it all now, but.

99
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: What have you learned so far? Yeah, there's a lot

100
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: of things I still want accomplish, you know, and so

101
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: every day I'm just constantly focused on that part of it,

102
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: you know what. You know, I think that for me,

103
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: every time I step into in the white lines, I

104
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: want to be my best every day, and I understand

105
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: that just constantly growing, you know, there's constantly things to

106
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: learn and everything else.

107
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: So I think the cool part here is just the

108
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: fellowship with the.

109
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: Guys, you know, just you know, knowing what j and

110
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Mess is like, you know, no One No One Runs

111
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: is like, you know, THEO and Wandell, No One Naves

112
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: is like, you know, and just being next to him

113
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: in the locker room and just different guys, you know,

114
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: I think all that is important. I think Jalen Hyatt,

115
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's He's a guy that's you know, who

116
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I really believe in, you know, and so there's a

117
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys that believe in all these guys have

118
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: been working their tails off. We spend a lot of time,

119
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, me and Belly and I've been with adulterage

120
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: before and knowing him, but now his life's grown and

121
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: everything else. And so I think all those relationships are significant.

122
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's the part I'm constantly learning too

123
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: as well when it comes to Jackson, is are you

124
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: taking the approach with him where you're explaining why you're

125
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing and all that stuff, or do

126
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: you wait for him to ask the questions and then

127
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: you'll answer.

128
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: Oh?

129
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always share, and I always think about communicate.

130
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in communicating, not loud, just you know,

131
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: here's what I'm thinking, here's what I'm saying. You know,

132
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: you don't hold any information. I think that for us,

133
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: it's always about us being the best that we can

134
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: all be. And uh, you know, and I think for

135
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: me now, when you have a tremendous confidence in yourself,

136
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: you you have no problem sharing with others, you know.

137
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: I think that's just how I've always believed.

138
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 5: So, speaking on that role, you were a mentor obviously

139
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 5: back in Pittsburgh for a field and now you're gonna

140
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: be a mentor for Jackson Dart And how just that

141
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 5: transition in in the quarterback room, How how.

142
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: Has that been? Yeah, I think that you know, it's

143
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: not just the guys in your quarterback room, it's hopefully

144
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: it's across the league, different guys you've been able to

145
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: communicate with, but especially the guys in your room. You know,

146
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: I think you know, Uh, you know, Fields is a

147
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: guy that I have a great relationship with, a guy

148
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: that I believe in in every way. We spent a

149
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: lot of time together last year, and and then we've

150
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: talked a lot in the past.

151
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: Uh, Jackson and I are obviously.

152
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: Getting to know each other, and Jamis I've known for forever. Uh, Tommy,

153
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna know. I have a lot of respect for

154
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: Tommy and how hard he's worked every day.

155
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: You know. You know that that doesn't go unseen, you know.

156
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: And so it's just all of us, man, It's not

157
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: just one guy or one player or just me or

158
00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: anything else.

159
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 2: It's it's all of us together. What are your earlier

160
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: impressions of coach Kafka.

161
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Coach Cafe is super sharp, man. He's uh guy

162
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: who's played in the league. That's that's that's the first thing.

163
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: You know. It's anytime you get a quarterback.

164
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: That's played in the National football it's that's significant. You know,

165
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: it's the amount of information you know, quarterbacks learn and understand, uh.

166
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: How they see the game.

167
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: You know, you're really talking to a guy that's been

168
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: on the football field and played been in different organizations

169
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: one before and you know, and and everything else. And

170
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: so that's been a lot of fun, you know, just

171
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: talking to him how he sees the game, how we

172
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: see the game together, me and him in Dave's two

173
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: as well.

174
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: So that's been really cool.

175
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: Played against this defense last year, you're you're playing against

176
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: what kind of re re groups, re repersonnel group on defense?

177
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 5: This year?

178
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Do you see a big difference between Well, yeah, I

179
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: thought the first of all, I think last year that

180
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: defense was flying around, you know, up front was obviously

181
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: having big executed decks up there rushing the bassars is

182
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: He's a monster man, you know, I think obviously Brian

183
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Burns is m my opinion, one of the top defensive

184
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: ends in the game. His ability to get to the quarterback,

185
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: his ability.

186
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 2: To cause havoc.

187
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: You know, it's any time you're game playing against the

188
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: team and you know it's like you have these game

189
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: altering players, you know, and he's one of them. For sure,

190
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: and Decks as well, and and TIBs. I think he's

191
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: had an unbelievable camp so far, just how he's gone

192
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: about his approach. He's here early, here late, his thought process,

193
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: and he's he's just a tremendous football talent as well.

194
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: And then the addition obviously Abdul Rushing the past or too.

195
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, he gets to learn from you know, guys

196
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: like Burns and guys like tib and all those guys

197
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: as well, and about their process, and he's already got

198
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: a great one already, I think from a secondary standpoint,

199
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, just the additions of Devo and then also

200
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: to Holland and all that those guys, they're they're freaking

201
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: natures back there, man, Just how they make plays, you know.

202
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: I think Debo is one of the best out there

203
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: and the outside his his ability to make plays. Been

204
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: on to watch him from a distance too, had a

205
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: lot of respect for him. He's very patient and call

206
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: him out there.

207
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: That's always the thing that you want at cornerback. His

208
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: ability to see things in process, you know.

209
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: And so you know, I think with our linebackers too, obviously,

210
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: Big Bobby Oh, He's he's one of the best in

211
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: the game, how he flies around, and so you know,

212
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: I think we've gotta have a really really talented defense

213
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: and hopefully can get us the ball, give a short

214
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: field and make a lot of score a lot of

215
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: points hopefully. But I think the best thing that they

216
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: do is obviously calls havoc.

217
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 5: Process or establishing chemistry with receivers you haven't worked with before.

218
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, anytime that you know, I always

219
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: say that, like you know, playing quarterback is thrown in

220
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: the ball so they can catch it.

221
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: You know.

222
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's like when you think about it,

223
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: I've always thought about this, even when I was young

224
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: and went to the combine for example, its guys can

225
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: get in their head about you know, not throwing certain

226
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: guys or whatever it may be because I haven't thrown

227
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: this guy before, whatever, and I just be like, that's

228
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: our job, you know, throw it to them so they

229
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: can catch it, you know. So to me, it's always

230
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: like I think, O, the work ethic of our guys

231
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: is what sets the tone. I think coach grow does

232
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: a great job in that room, but just the work

233
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: ethic of our receivers have their diligence the time we

234
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: spent in the off season that has paid off. The

235
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: time that they've worked in their walkthroughs all the way

236
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: to how they've approached that to obviously our approach in practice.

237
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: And the speed that they played with.

238
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: He saw Slaton and catch that bomb today after a

239
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: dom and just his ability to make plays down the field. Jalen,

240
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about him and what he's done so far. Obviously,

241
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: Wan Dell is his ability neighbors is you know, obviously

242
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: one of the.

243
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: Best in the game.

244
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: Cannot the best in the game of what he does,

245
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: and so just we've got a lot of guys, you know,

246
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: and so I think I've also been really impressed with

247
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: our backs. You know, I think that we have some

248
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: really really talented, you know backs that can really catch

249
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: the ball but also obviously run it, but their ability

250
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: to make plays in the passing games is significant as well.

251
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: Right, So you're league, right, you know kind of how

252
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: the business work. You were once at a draft pick, right,

253
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: you came and you won the job, You run your job.

254
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: How much pressure does do you view it as putting

255
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: on you to have success here? Early knowing that they

256
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: drafted a first round quarterback.

257
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: I just think about having success today. You know, It's

258
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: always been my approach every day is like I'm trying

259
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: to be the best in the world, you know, just

260
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I think that for me mentally,

261
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: you have confidence and yourself, you have confidence in what

262
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: you do, your process. Uh you know, y y y,

263
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: I I s constantly stay the course and understand that.

264
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: You know, if I'm the best me, you know, I

265
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: I know how great that is. And and so for me,

266
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: I always just stay within, you know.

267
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: I don't really think about outside.

268
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: And I know you guys have a a great day

269
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: job to do and everything else. But you know, but

270
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: for me, it's like you that would be a fine.

271
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: In the team marine room, I just get it.

272
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: But na, just for me, it's a I just stay

273
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: focused on on on the process of it all.

274
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 4: Wh When you talk to process, I mean you talk

275
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: to guys in this league from when their rookies to

276
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,119
Speaker 4: when they're you know, in your stage.

277
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: At the game.

278
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 4: Guys have their different mentalities of how you know, Okay,

279
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 4: now's when the pedal goes down to the ground and

280
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: we gotta push and there are some guys who wanna

281
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: take it day by day. Has that process changed for

282
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: you at all in terms of getting ready for the season.

283
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: And it's only June. I mean, there are some guys

284
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: who say, you know, wake me up in August, that

285
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: kind of thing. But from you, why is it important?

286
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: I think it's important.

287
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: I think your question in terms of, you know, if

288
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm understanding your question right you know, the process of

289
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: right now and the OTAs and I've always believed in

290
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: that because of the chemistry and the belief and the

291
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: love of the game. You know, to me, if you

292
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: love the game, you're always about it. It doesn't matter.

293
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: You know. We all know that, you know, and every

294
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: day you step.

295
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Into in the white lines, it's a gift, you know.

296
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: I believe that God's given us an amazing blessing to

297
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: play this game. And so I've always taken the approach of,

298
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, never missing practice, always being you know there,

299
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I think I've only missed one practice before

300
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: my life, and that's because of a funeral.

301
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: You know.

302
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I think it's just because I think at the end

303
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: of the day, for me, it's about the approach to it.

304
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: And so, you know, I think the big part of

305
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: it is is just the dedication to your teammates, you know,

306
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: and what you want to do, and it's all about

307
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: us doing it together. That's the fun part about it,

308
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: I think, to be able to play with the guys

309
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: that we have and the belief that we have to

310
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: create now and the belief that we have to do it.

311
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: But it's not just you know, hoping and wishing, it's
