A lot of young guys 11 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 2: played well. We can talk about all those guys. Fourth 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: down stop at the end. That was awesome and fun 13 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: to watch and really proud of the guys. Bka is 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: going to be out for the season. It looks like 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: he has some torn ligament and his knee unfortunately, so 16 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: I'll just tell you that right now. Other than that, 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: I think we're in pretty good shape with injuries. We 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: had a couple of things, but it should be okay 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: with and this guy right here, man, they made a 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: bunch of plays for us and got after it, and 21 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: we had big kick returns, and we had we had 22 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: we are defensive ends coming off the edge. You got 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: some sacks and got some TfL. So a lot of 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: good things to look at and a lot of things 25 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: to work on. What questions you have? 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: Last year the special team just had so many questions, 27 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 3: specifically a pump return of just how good was it 28 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 3: to see that be a strong point for tonight? 29 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: I mean, and you know, obviously obviously what Desiente did 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: was awesome, and just to be aggressive. The first punt 31 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: was a short punt, tough catch, you know, we went 32 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 2: after and made it. Then he gets yards and every 33 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: time he had guys buzzing around him. I thought the 34 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: blocking was good too, but he made guys miss and 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 2: got big yards, got touchdown. Obviously he's massive. And then 36 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: Anthony that went in there and did a really good 37 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: job too, had the pooch punts, backed up punts that 38 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: were kind of moving out there, and he feel to 39 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: those which are not easy catches. So it's good to 40 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: see both those guys do well. Kick return was good 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: to see Rashie hit that kick return was good, uh 42 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: and was big field position for us, got us some points. 43 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: So all those things, yeah, very good. No, Tyler. I 44 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: thought Tyler did a nice job. You know, he hit 45 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: to stub his toe in the aground a little bit 46 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: in that one and just just put just kind of 47 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: it made the ball move a little bit left. Uh 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: perfect Other than that, but to see him bounce back 49 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: on the next kick, especially after getting kind of pushed 50 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: back into the longer field go I thought was really 51 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,839 Speaker 2: a big step up for him. 52 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: What what do you At what point would you kind 53 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 4: of make a decision on the pufturn position. 54 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I just just go through camp. Let's 55 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: let the process play itself out. I mean, you know, 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: guys are well start go two more weeks. We have time, 57 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: you know, just see see what a lot of things happen. 58 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 2: This is is football, man. Things happen every single day, 59 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: and then we just try to have the best day 60 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 2: we can tomorrow. 61 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 5: Said that you were hoping to decide the left guard 62 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 5: competition by the end of. 63 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: This game, do you feel like, yeah, I mean kind 64 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: of look at the tape first, you know, but uh, 65 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: you know, I think he was in the lead. Like 66 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: I said, I didn't see anything that we made me 67 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: think he wasn't. But I think I think Ben played well. 68 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: It looked like to me. So we'll we'll let you know, 69 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: probably once we see the tape. John TJ. 70 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: Tampa went, I think the entire distance started the game 71 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 4: was in the end. You need to look at tape, obviously, 72 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 4: But how valuable is that time for him, knowing he 73 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 4: missed most of last year, didn't really get those reps 74 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 4: in especially. 75 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: That's right, Look, it's so important. I mean, that's just 76 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 2: really critical for him to and for him to play. 77 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: I mean, he needs to play, you know, he needs 78 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: to be out there playing and get that experience. I 79 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: thought he handled it well, got locked in, uh, you know, 80 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: sense of urgency was good, made the play in the 81 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: in the last in the fourth fourth quarter there at 82 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: the end of the last drive. Tough play, made it 83 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: a lot of poise, you know, it didn't didn't wasn't 84 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: able to get his head around to the ball, but 85 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: played it up in the receiver. We didn't have a 86 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: lot of contact and got the ball off him. I 87 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: thought that was really good. Made some tackles. Yeah, he 88 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: did a nice job. And I thought that Jaylen armor 89 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: Davis did a real nice job out there. Played exceptionally well. 90 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: Kean played exceptionally well. Ruben played well. Both young you 91 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: know Bo and uh Sanus he played well. I want 92 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: miss guys, but I thought that whole secondary did a 93 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: pretty good job. 94 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 5: You starts Mike an individual. 95 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: Same really, I mean I thought Mike Green was you know, 96 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: really really active. And it wasn't just Mike. I mean 97 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 2: Mike was. He was physical and active, run and passed. 98 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: But all those outside backers, I mean, David Jabbo played 99 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 2: really well. Desa played really well. All those guys did 100 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: a real nice job. I thought, the young d Lineman, 101 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: I mean, you saw some guys in there what you 102 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: haven't seen because two international players played really well. You know, 103 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: I thought that they were physical and good inside. So 104 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: all the whole defense played well. Was it was good 105 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: to see. 106 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 5: You said Tyler needs to make kicks in the gams. 107 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 5: He obviously he didn't miss the ones that I came 108 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 5: back and at the long one. 109 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: Did that introduce any more uncertainty in your mind where 110 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: you might think about bringing in from No, I wouldn't 111 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 2: say that kick to answer the question did not introduce 112 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: more uncertainty. 113 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 6: No. 114 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: I mean I know what happened on the and I 115 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: just thought that way he responded, was really good and 116 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: hit hit hit the ball really well tonight. So I 117 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: would say tonight was a he passed the test. Tonight 118 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: might not have been eight plus plus, but you know 119 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: b plus. You know Jathan. 120 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 7: Mitchell, right, we talked to him, We talked to Todd 121 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 7: about how. 122 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 4: He feels more, looks more confident, looks just less tenative 123 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 4: than he when he first came back from the injury 124 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 4: last year. 125 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: When you watch him tonight, what impresses I thought? I thought, Yeah, yeah, 126 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: I thought what you just said. I mean, I think 127 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: I think I do think that that's how you look. 128 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 2: You hit it, you know, I mean, Keaton's one of 129 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: those guys. It's obviously got that ability to take it 130 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: to the house at any time. You can bounce it 131 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: to the edge, you can cut it back. He's good 132 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: in the past game. And then also establishing the fact 133 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: that you'll run the ball between the tackles. I think 134 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: he's he's doing that too, and that's really important. You 135 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: don't want to be the guy, right, Keith that they 136 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 2: say always outside run game guy, right. You want to 137 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 2: make him pay between the tackles too, And that's something 138 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: too that I know. He's very focused on John, do 139 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: you expect that because of just where your numbers are 140 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 2: running back, that you're still a little need key for 141 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 2: these next two games? Well, we got check and see 142 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: how healthy we are. You know, that'll be the uh, 143 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: that'll be the key. We just have to see how 144 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: healthy we are in terms of what we do, you know, 145 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: a couple of positions, but we have to get got 146 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: one guy back from a concussion we had. Ali had 147 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: his situation today. Hopefully he's okay. See where we're at. 148 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 2: Any early dayaways just from watching game? Oh and very good? 149 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: And I I mean I thought we went to one 150 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: of the the that might have been the for is 151 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: there a record for low how many passing years? Do 152 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 2: we have? Fifty nine as an NFL preseason game? Ever 153 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: been one than fifty nine passing years? And you could? 154 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: I mean you, why don't you have that number? Yeah, 155 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: we'd like to pass for more than fifty nine yards. Yeah, 156 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: I assure you John that that's a I mean, when 157 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: you look at the totality of what you see from 158 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: Cooper Rush, do you feel like you've seen the guy 159 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: that you thought you guys got. 160 00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 5: In the off season? 161 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: I mean, oh yeah, yeah, Cooper Cooper. Cooper played well. 162 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he got we had he was 163 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 2: in there, a nice drive at the pass and then 164 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: we had the pump return. You know, he's out basically, 165 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: so I feel good about Cooper. You know, Devin competitor 166 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: fought in there, but just didn't go his way tonight, 167 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: you know, just really didn't didn't fall in place for 168 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: him tonight for whatever reason. He's had really good practices. 169 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: I mean, he's looked super good in practice, which so 170 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: you know, you you're not gonna just say, oh man, 171 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: that's that's it, you know, but it's gonna be one 172 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: that they're all gonna have to look at, and he's 173 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: gonna have to look at and the guys. But just 174 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: see what happened. You know, we watched the tape, but 175 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: that's pretty surprising to have that, you know, kind of 176 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: a night throwing the ball. 177 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 5: Next to Cod when you went out on the field. 178 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 8: How kind of emotional from that standpoint is it to 179 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 8: see a guy who was playing his first NFL game. 180 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: That happened to him very emotional playing well too. Man, 181 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: that play made a heck of a play, and then 182 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: even seeing him in the locker room just now is 183 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: really hard. Uh, very hard. But like I told him, 184 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: the son, we'll come up tomorrow. The sun doesn't come 185 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: up tomorrow. We got much bigger problems. So the sun 186 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: will come up tomorrow. You'll you'll get this taken care of. 187 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: You'll be rehabbing, you're you're part of our team and 188 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: uh and you'll be back, you know. So it's just 189 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: not on the time that you hope for. So I 190 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: think he'll he'll see that in due time. With Keaton 191 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: kind of where he is right now and the journey 192 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: that it really took for him to get back to 193 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: this point, well, I'll tell you we probably Keaton, you 194 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: probably should talk to b K. You know, you've been 195 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: down that road, right and I had to had to 196 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: go through that that type of thing. So that's this 197 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: is the other end we're talking about, b K.

Like 261 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: I was saying earlier, like I've been away, but I've 262 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 3: been around it for a long time. 263 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 5: So just to be able to be back out it's 264 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 5: been a huge. 265 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 6: It is your first NFL game. 266 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 5: Kind of what you expected or what Yes, and no, 267 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 5: it's a little different I thought it would be. 268 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 3: I think I think the way we do things is 269 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: just different, so everything just kind of feels a little 270 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: bit easier. I guess, not saying that it is easy, 271 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: but just the way that we work. 272 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 5: We work really hard.

You know, 281 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: you never know what it's going to happen, but you 282 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 3: know it sucks.

He's just a natural when 292 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: it comes to playing football. So just to be out there, 293 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 3: to be with him, and it felt really good. 294 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: What were you happy with in terms of your your 295 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 2: play tonight? 296 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's tough. I'm very hard on myself. 297 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 5: I think Uh, I. 298 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 3: Think I communicated pretty well. I think I could do 299 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 3: it probably a little better. I think I made some place, 300 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 3: but I could have prevented them from happening to begin with, 301 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: just trusting my instincts. But I think, you know, first 302 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 3: game getting back into it, not bad, but not where. 303 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 5: I want to be.

Uh it 314 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 8: it was great. We we had guys flying around, he 315 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 8: had guys making place. You know, of course there's gonna 316 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 8: be some things that we have to clean up, but overall, 317 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 8: I think it was great. 318 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 4: Like you you have to next moment yourself, and I'm 319 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 4: sure you'll look at the tape in the film and everything, 320 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 4: which is kind of your assessment in the moments after. 321 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 8: You get Yeah, I I I think, of course, like 322 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 8: there's there's things I just got to clean up on 323 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 8: my own when it comes down to just like mental 324 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 8: errors and and things like that. But I think overall, 325 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 8: once I once I just spend more time here, uh, 326 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 8: be able to grow more and and I think that's 327 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 8: all that's what it's all about. And I think just 328 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 8: being here so far already learned a lot and uh, 329 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 8: I'm just gonna continue to learn, so looking forward. 330 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 6: To it, Like, how much did that last series and 331 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 6: the joint practices really kind of boost you know, it 332 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 6: looked like you had potentially three sacks. 333 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was great. 334 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 8: I love those two minute situations because you get to 335 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 8: just go out there and play fast, be physical, fly 336 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 8: around and I think that's one of my strong suits. 337 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 8: And I think just being being able to go out 338 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 8: there and just compete against those guys. Uh, I mean 339 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 8: it was great. It was fun. I like fast paced environments, 340 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 8: so being able to go out there in two minute 341 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 8: and these coaches gotta some some trust in me when 342 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 8: it comes down to getting to the to the to 343 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 8: the past or so. Uh, it was good going out 344 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 8: there and being able to fly around. 345 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 6: I feel like you can play a little bit like 346 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 6: a finish your role kind of in this situation situations. 347 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, I think it just depends on what what 348 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 8: our skit with the scheme that we're running and and 349 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 8: and what they need me for. And I think I'm 350 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 8: refersatile guys, So whatever they need me to do, I'm 351 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 8: gonna do. 352 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 4: So, like a lot of successful guys in your room, 353 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 4: just what stands out to you. 354 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 5: About you know, just all the pass rushers and the 355 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 5: way you guys were doing. 356 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 8: Just how relentless they are. I mean, if you if 357 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 8: you look at all their all their production, sacks, TFLs, tackles, 358 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 8: bat it passes everything. It's it's because of how relentless 359 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 8: they are. Sometimes their first moves don't work, so they 360 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 8: go to their second moves. They're chasing, They're chasing the 361 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 8: quarterback around, they're being disruptive, they're getting knocked back on 362 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 8: on the offensive line and being able to shed off 363 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 8: and make plays. And uh, I think when you play 364 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 8: relentlessly it opens more doors to make plays because you 365 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 8: can mess up a player or whatever. But if you're 366 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 8: going all out and you're and you're putting a lot 367 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 8: of effort into it, the player could end up wanting 368 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 8: right back into your hands. 369 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 5: What do you think about David sit S. 370 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 4: You said, who? 371 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 8: Uh yeah, yeah, he he's a great player. I I 372 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 8: th I think he battled with some injury previously, but 373 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 8: I I think he he's been bouncing back good. 374 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 5: He looks great out there. 375 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 8: I I was, I like, I did I had to 376 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 8: learn that he I mean, I I learned that he 377 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 8: got uh injured previously by being here, cause I mean 378 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 8: if you just see him out there running, you could 379 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 8: never tell he he's a great player. 380 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: He's a great dude. 381 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 8: I learned a lot from him as well. He he's 382 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 8: definitely stepping up into the order guy mentality when it 383 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 8: comes down to to showing us like how to go 384 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 8: about things and and and give him us pointers and 385 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 8: and things on plays. So uh he yeah, he he's 386 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 8: going in d in the right direction. I think, Uh, 387 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 8: this year a big, a big year for him. 388 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 4: Like you get off on. 389 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 8: Both of those who he was pretty quick, Yeah, and 390 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 8: your main goal as a pass rusher is to get 391 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 8: them the third and long. So I if you're being 392 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 8: disruptive in the run game and uh first and second down, 393 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 8: it opens up more opportunities for you to go out 394 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 8: there and pass for us. So as long as we're 395 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 8: doing what we're supposed to be doing in our first 396 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 8: two downs, we get them in third and long, you're 397 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 8: able to go out there and and uh and show 398 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 8: what you can really do. 399 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 10: Uh. 400 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 8: When it comes down to getting to the quarterback, like he've. 401 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 4: Gone through this entire spring summer with a guy or 402 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 4: a guy like BKA to see him go down on 403 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 4: a kind of a innocuous looking you know, past break up. 404 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: Just w W where do you kind of go through emotionally? 405 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, Uh, very very unfortunate because A he's a good dude. 406 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 5: He's a great player. 407 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 8: I actually played against him last year, uh when when 408 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 8: he was at Western Michigan, and uh, I. 409 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 5: I it's it's it's sad. 410 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 8: Of course, but you know the game of football, it's 411 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 8: very physical, so I know he's going to find a 412 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 8: way to bounce back. He he has the type of 413 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 8: mentality that he can battle through adversity. So if if 414 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 8: he just sticks to his path, then everything should be 415 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 8: good for him. 416 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: That was rookie linebacker Mike Green after seeing NFL game 417 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: action for the first time.
