1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Man, I felt like a young guy again. No, I

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: felt like a twit year event these practices. Is a tough, man,

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: But obviously it's fun. It's fun being out here with

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: the guys.

5
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: Man. They keep me young man. And obviously it's no

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: place I'd rather be.

7
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: So, you know, grind, that's what training camp is about. Man,

8
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: good start for us man offensively and defensively. So we're

9
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: just getting things flying and going from there.

10
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: At the last season, did you you have to kind

11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 3: of sit down with yourself and figure out if you

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: wanted to keep playing? Oh?

13
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that's always when you get to

14
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: this age. Man, kids getting older, you missing a lot

15
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: of things. You know, the life outside of football become

16
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: a little more important. Have three kids now, so you know,

17
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: my kids getting older. Man, My my kids is more

18
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: active in sports and stuff like that. It gets tough

19
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: missing it, man, But I love the game of football

20
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: so much it kind of you know, I sat down, Man,

21
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: it was a no brainer. I still felt like I

22
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: had something left in the tank. Man, And obviously, uh,

23
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: it was a no brainer. That'll be back here in

24
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco for sure.

25
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: What are the things that keep you coming back? What

26
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: really did you still want to accomplish a Super Bowl? Man?

27
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: You know, at this point, I think that being so

28
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: close last year.

29
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Obviously we know how that game ended, and we've heard

30
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: about it all off season, obviously, but just being able

31
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl, and it's not often that

32
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: you be able to play on teams like this. I mean,

33
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: you look at offensively, the guys that we have, defensively,

34
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: the guys that we have, Uh, you'd be foolish not

35
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: to want to be a part of it, man. And

36
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: they wanted me back, and it just was a no

37
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: brainer for me.

38
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: Man.

39
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: And obviously it'll be no better story ending than than

40
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: then than winning the Super Bowl this year.

41
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: I think that's everybody's expectation this year.

42
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: Even before you got here last year, they come close

43
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: a couple of times. Did you feel right away when

44
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: you got here that this is a team that is

45
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: really urgent.

46
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: To push through this right?

47
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: Uh?

48
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: You know, just coming here when I came, Man, I

49
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: was at I was at home. I was a little

50
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: league coach a little bit, Man, I was training my son.

51
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: So from the time I walked in a building, it

52
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: just was a no brainer that you could feel that

53
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: energy here and from the day. From day one, you

54
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: just step on a practice field, you see, Man, this

55
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: is a championship football team.

56
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: You know. Obviously can't say I played.

57
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: On a lot of championship football teams in my career, Man,

58
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: but I've had some success, you know. Obviously in Jacksonville,

59
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: he was a championship football team, Man, And you know

60
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: what it feels like being around long as long as

61
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: I have, and from day one it was a championship

62
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: football team. Once we caught our groove, we was rolling

63
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: and we played championship football, Man, twelve straight. Obviously we

64
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: couldn't close the deal. But that's why we hear now, Man,

65
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: new season, new opportunities.

66
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: Okay, Like defense is always a little bit ahead of

67
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: the of the offense and the early part of training

68
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: camp any but She's like, maybe this year's been a

69
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: little bit more pronounced. You feel pretty good about the

70
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,520

Speaker 2: Do you it's a younger room this year than last year.

100
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: Do you feel the need to be a vocal, more

101
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: of a vocal leader than you were when you first

102
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: got here.

103
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think that you know, find your role.

104
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Last year I came here, man, that we had guys

105
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: like j v Man, Jimmy Ward, you know those guys, man,

106
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I just played.

107
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: I just played my role obviously.

108
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Man, let those guys do what they You know, you

109
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: have guys like Jimmy who've been here for a long time.

110
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: Was wherever the captain. I didn't need to be that

111
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: vocal leader because man, it was covered.

112
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: You know.

113
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: I just did my part, did my one eleventh obviously.

114
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: So obviously I don't try to do too much. That's

115
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: just never been my game. But being a vocal leader

116
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: for these young guys to shoes for these guys, man,

117
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: because when I was coming in, I think that leading

118
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: by example is one thing. But obviously, man, you got

119
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: to be able to tell these guys and coach these

120
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: guys up.

121
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: And that's my job. That's my job to coach.

122
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 1: These guys up, man, especially young guys like tig I mean, Jaire,

123
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: he gotta earn the name tig Man. So like Jire

124
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: and those guys like that, coach them up man and

125
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: things like that.

126
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: So you know hearing my hearing me be more vocal.

127
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Man.

128
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: It's beneficial for those guys, man, Obviously.

129
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: I know those guys look up to guys like myself

130
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: and things like that, man, And it's just a blessing

131
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: to be able to coach those guys up. And they

132
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: give me their ear to listen, man, And obviously they

133
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: want to get better, and I'm here to help them

134
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: get better.

135
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: He can just to be vocal and more animated on

136
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: the field, but not so much off the field. But

137
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: he needs to kind of step that up a little bit.

138
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: Do you see that in him? Man? Obviously, I think

139
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: that Huff is just Huff is who he is. Man.

140
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: His energy is just so different. And Huff is young.

141
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: Man.

142
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: You gotta think some of our rookies are still older

143
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: than Huff. So it's Huff having grasp man. You know,

144
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: he's still a young kid, obviously. But you hear him

145
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: on the field, obviously. I think that nobody knows the

146
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: defense better than Helf except for Fred maybe.

147
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: So obviously on the field, it just comes natural. He's

148
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: that guy back there. Man. You hear him sometimes more

149
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: than Fred.

150
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Each and every play, Huff kind of gets everybody lined

151
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: up man, smart guy from day once this last year,

152
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: he's being kind of like that vocal guy on the field.

153
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: His personality is a real laid back guy outside of

154
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: the building. That's just who he is. Some people come around, man,

155
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: but eventually he will. Man. But right now he's a leader. Man. Obviously,

156
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: his play speak for himself. So he's a leader in himself.

157
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: Man, we understand that Heuff is gonna practice hard, healf

158
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: is gonna play hard.

159
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: He's one of the best safets in the league. Man.

160
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: In my opinion, it's not mean safet that could do

161
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: what he can do. That's not no safety in my opinion,

162
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: who could do what he can do. Man, Huff is

163
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: just he's that guy. So obviously he continued to lead

164
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: by example and on the field he is that vocal

165
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: god and that's what matters right now, you know, and

166
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: obviously everything else is gonna come with it, uh for sure.

167
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: So keep Wilks told us yesterday that he showed you

168
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: that that played from the Miami game last year.

169
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: This it's the seventy five yard touchdown.

170
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: W What was the context of that, I mean, what

171
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: was he was that.

172
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Before training camp? And was he trying to kind of.

173
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: Show you guys that you know you're you're not invincible.

174
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: That there there were some plays last.

175
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Year, you know, just communication and things like that. How

176
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: you gotta communicate on plays like that. Lack of communication

177
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: can lead to those type of plays. Hurt a couple

178
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: of feelings in there, obviously every time that play come up, Man,

179
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: I try to go to the bathroom.

180
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, go to the bathroom. I

181
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: don't wanna see it.

182
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: But you know, obviously it was just more of a

183
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: communication kind of deal where it's like, hey, man, you

184
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: gotta communicate. If you can communicate out here, Man, things

185
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: like this can happen in the National Football League. Those

186
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: guys are good football players just like we are. Man,

187
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: just a lack of communication it. Lack of communication can

188
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: sometimes lead to explosive plays and sposive plays can get

189
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: you beat in this league.

190
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: So obviously, man, he won't gods to.

191
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Be more evoking and communicating back there, man, and things

192
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: like that, so you can avoid those type of mistakes.

193
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: Scream yeah, yeah, if you had a teammate like that

194
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: as well as.

195
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: Man, I I I would say Fred's energy and things

196
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: like that. I haven't had been around many guys like

197
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: that in my life.

198
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

199
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: And I've played a lot of football, man, a lot

200
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: a lot of football. Man, I haven't seen many guys

201
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: with that that type of energy day in and day out.

202
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Fred don't seem to have any low days, truly, I

203
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: can say, Man, I play with some good football players, man. Uh,

204
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: I think Fred is probably one of the best, if

205
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: not the best football player I've ever played with.

206
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: Man.

207
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: And that's saying a lot. Just the energy, the way

208
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: he practiced away, he ap proast the game. You see

209
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: it from afar, Man, I didn't really respect it. I

210
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: I I knew he was a great player, man, but

211
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: seeing it up close in person, Man, you gotta respect

212
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: respect his greatness.

213
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: So you know, that energy right there is contagious. Man.

00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: Fred gets going, Man and Fred going Man from play

216
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: our vocal leader, that's our emotional leader. So you know,

217
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,120

218
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,000
