We also talk 142 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: with linebacker Roquan Smith. He's a leader of this defense 143 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: and he's really setting the tone and he's confident about 144 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: this defense, which he talked about on Saturday. What's up? 145 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: How's the intensity to go up? When you when you 146 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: step in the state practice. 147 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 4: It's a little different feeling for sure. Like when I 148 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 4: got off the bus, like I come in with my 149 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 4: headphones on, I'm like, oh man, Like I had to 150 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: remind myself we just practicing for a second. I come 151 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: through the locker room and whatnot. But it's definitely sweetened then, 152 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 4: you know, It's always good seeing the fans out in 153 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 4: the stadium. You know, love seeing those guys here. Those 154 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 4: guys are always coming with a lot of passions, so 155 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 4: have a lot of respect for that and just you know, 156 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 4: still excited to be here and still excited to put 157 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 4: on opening day for them as well. 158 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's been really hot these past few days. 159 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: How does that affect the whether you're able to practice, 160 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: the tempo, everything that goes into it. 161 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 4: Oh, definitely definitely affects you. But it's mental at the 162 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 4: end of the day. Definitely is definitely draining for sure, 163 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 4: but it's just repairing us for the season. We're building 164 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 4: up our cardio, getting our legs right with a lactic 165 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 4: acid as well. So I'm excited. I think the heat 166 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 4: is a good thing and as long as we just 167 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 4: stand hydrated, taking care of ourselves and everything will be good. 168 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 4: It'll pay dividends for us in a long haul. 169 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 6: Rocal communication has been something that PEQ said. 170 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: Marcus Williams said earlier this week. 171 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 6: How big was that something that you guys worked on 172 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 6: this offseason. 173 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's huge. Always been on the same page, even 174 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 4: if you're wrong, you know, if we're all all eleven 175 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: or wrong doing the same thing, then likelihood will still 176 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 4: be all right if you ask me so. It's critical 177 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 4: in this defense as long as you communicate, that solves 178 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 4: a lot of problems. And just knowing where someone else 179 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 4: is each and every given play gives you a lot 180 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: of confidence as well. Communication breeze confidence. In my opinion, mean, 181 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 4: what have you seen? I feel like just since we've 182 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 4: been out here, since we got the camp, uh since 183 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: Ota is honestly just how everyone is so eager to 184 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: just be together, bust our tails day in and day out, 185 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 4: and just come out and just find ways to get better. 186 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: There's no player looking at it as like, oh, I'm 187 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 4: too good for this, I'm too good for that.
