00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 2: Our guys really got locked in and focused on trying

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: to improve and uh competed a lot of ones against

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: ones today and it was good to see the competition

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: and that's how you get better. What questions you have.

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: I Kyle old Man annoyed from.

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: The beginning, what kind of difference does that bring as

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 2: far as his leadership in a position group where he's

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: definite the better There no question Kyle has definitely I

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: think he's enjoyed being here from the beginning. I mean,

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: you know, you come in once the season has begun

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 2: and you just kind of trying to play catch up

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: with with the with the defensive scheme, but also with

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: the relationships. Now he's one of the guys. Everybody knows

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: him respect. He's definitely a leader, knows the defense very

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: well and practicing hard every day. So it should should

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: be a plus for us.

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 4: In regards to Chuck Smith, kind of that last season

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: definitely improved your pass rush and a year positions as

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 4: pass rushing coach more specific with his specialty being in

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 4: that avenue, just how much is that beneficial for you?

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: And then you know it's kind of a unique way

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 2: to do it. And Chuck, Chuck's it all around football coach.

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: You know, he can coach. He coaches every part of

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: the position. He was a pass rusher as a player,

31
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: one of one of the all time great pass rushers,

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: and then kind of took that on as a as

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: a as an obsession almost, I would say, and he's

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: become one of one of the maybe the best foremost

35
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: pass rushing coach in the business. I feel that way

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: about him. So to have him here with our guys,

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: I mean that speaks a lot to what we're you know,

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: I think the way the guys are building into his

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: style and what he teaches, and I know they love it.

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: You know, they love learning from him. So let's see

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: where it takes is it was good last year?

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: John?

43
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: Along those lines, how much did Chuck contribute to the

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: decision to get it this draft from Jeoh? Chuck was

45
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: a part of that for sure. I mean he's looking

46
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: at all the pass rushers and all the all the

47
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: trades of those outside backers generally, So he had a

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: big influence on that. Practicing in the flow.

49
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they always have.

50
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: A sort of a ramp up plan that we try

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: to abide by and follow, and those guys are on

52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: that on that path. But it was good to see

53
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: him back out there. Pile Hamilton are beginning to go

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: to work on the train. If you have an update

55
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: on him and what kind of your plan for him

56
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: the next week, right, Well, yeah, it would be kind

57
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: of ramping back a little bit. He's he's good, you know,

58
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: it's a it's a it's kind of a minor a sprain,

59
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: i'd say a sprain. And so we got out there

60
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: and moved around little bit today and he'll just kind

61
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: of progress each day a little more be out there going.

62
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: Oh so shots like that l brackets all at once?

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: Is it just shot bag?

64
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 5: Is it just a matter of a pain issue? More

65
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 5: injury play and way back?

66
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

67
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: Do we really need to get in all that specifically? Okay,

68
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. He'll be he'll be fine, He'll be okay,

69
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: he'll be fine. He's trying. He's trying to gt himself

70
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: out there and as much as he can, and he'll

71
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 2: be out there soon.

72
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 6: Our Garius Washington's had a couple of really good practices

73
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 6: in a row. Coaches have spoken very highly of him

74
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 6: over last season and.

75
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: A half or so.

76
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 6: Talk about what you've seen in his development over the

77
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 6: last while.

78
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: Then, yeah, you know it's funny. Darius and I had

79
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: a conversation today in my office and it was a

80
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: good one. Wasn't called to the principal's office. It was

81
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: just to guy of talk about his vision for the

82
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: season and what he thought, uh, he could accomplish. And

83
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: he's playing at a high level. You saw it today.

84
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: He's playing both safety positions. He's playing the nickel and

85
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: you could play the he could play the corner outside

86
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: if you had to. You got to get you out

87
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: of the game. And he could go in a dime

88
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: if he had to. He knows the defense that well.

89
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: His style is is pretty much patented. That's his style,

90
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: the way he plays, and I think it's a style

91
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: worthy of emulating. So very glad he's on our team.

92
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: You can boil down what it is, Josh Johnson. That's

93
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: kind of earned your confidence over the years.

94
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 7: What is it?

95
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Josh Johnson's a vet, he's a pro.

96
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: He's he's when he's played in games he's played, He's

97
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: played good football in games. Hadn't been a lot, but

98
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: he's played good football games. He's gonna run our offense. Well,

99
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: we we love Josh damn.

100
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: Like, what is that Ramball Plambell play?

101
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: Would you like to see him in the preseason? I

102
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: would love to see him in Preseason's just gonna depend

103
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: on the you know, his ability to do it with

104
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: the uh, the recovery from he had bilateral uh sports

105
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: herney of surgery. So uh, I think he's got a

106
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: good shot. You just have to see how it comes

107
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: along the next week or.

108
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: So on the entight imfilstation. How do you see Kenny

109
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: to his male people being in the bestat in blocking game?

110
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: You know, Uh, he's kind of a surprise as a blocker.

111
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: And the physicality if he saw it out there today,

112
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: he's he's he's he's definitely a player NFL player and

113
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: coaches kid. I mean, he's tough, he's not afraid. He

114
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: throws it in there and plays bigger than his size,

115
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: And you know, I think he's doing a good job.

116
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: I think we're just one of the.

117
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: Trendit Ganthier several weeks in. How do you kind of

118
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: see the team come together.

119
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: Around set out as the.

120
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: Sort of this and building around that?

121
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: You say it against complicated questions. You just asked me,

122
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: I kind of lost I lost you there. To be

123
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: honest with you, how has it you got to.

124
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: Come together around the vision, change to set it out.

125
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: At the start?

126
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: All the teams come together around the vision. That is

127
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: kind of a complicated question. I would say, very well,

128
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: you know, and I think the vision what you become

129
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: as a football team is a product of the people

130
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: who do it and what they do, you know, and

131
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: what happens every day and the things the challenges that

132
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: you have and the obstacles you have to overcome and

133
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 2: how you approach those things and if you're willing to

134
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: keep fighting and keep getting back up and uh and

135
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: never quit and then you know it's it's not The

136
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: fight's not over until you say it is, no matter

137
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: what happens, and that's you know, it's it's a big statement,

138
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: but camp's a little bit like that. You know, you

139
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: got to keep coming back every day and come out

140
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: and grind and and try to become better, become a

141
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: better player, to better team every day. And I think

142
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: our guys are doing that and that's really the task

143
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: at hand right now. And our areas had another nice

144
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: practice that's really got a lot of them came up.

145
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: How significant you know, he's obviously just that it's being healthy.

146
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: And then obviously if you got him the terms of

147
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: the secondaries, this should be hard.

148
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 8: For game with me and everything.

149
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: Can you ask me again, are Darius how significant is

150
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: it haven't been happen to see and making plays?

151
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: Oh?

152
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: Oh, the same question you asked. All right, it's very significant.

153
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: He's playing very well and he I would just tell

154
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: you this. I mean, you're right. I mean, it's great

155
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: to have Maltres. He's been hurt a couple of years ago,

156
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: and he's not He's he's healthy, and I think he's

157
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: fulfilling what we always hoped he would do. And I

158
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: really expect him have a big year. I think he's

159
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: gonna play great football for us. So it's a it's

160
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: a big deal. Yeah, absolutely too.

161
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: Well, did Lamar get the answer that he wanted when.

162
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: He showed the rest of the I pad.

163
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: It's a good question. I don't know, it's a great question. Now,

164
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: that's the best question today right there.

165
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: We also heard from veteran linebacker Kyle van Doy.

166
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 6: Has it been having this full year to be with

167
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 6: the team now as opposed to coming in so lain

168
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 6: What kind of differences are they?

169
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 8: A lot of differences. I know, the playbook that helps,

170
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 8: no teammates, and then just yeah, a lot of different things,

171
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 8: just expectations, standard and people on staff just kind of

172
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 8: just come in and flow, and it's been awesome. It's

173
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 8: fun getting to see young guys compete, and myself being young,

174
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 8: competing out there with them.

175
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: It's been good.

176
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: Jokingly or maybe not jokingly, said you're at the quodium

177
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: after one of the games last year that printing camps overrated.

178
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 8: That's funny, that's good, you're good. Good memory weeks. Yeah,

179
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 8: I mean for me, it's I'm here, so I'm gonna

180
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 8: do what I have to do to get better. Right

181
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 8: That was then, this is now. We're getting better as

182
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 8: a unit. Just the growth from the first day on

183
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 8: the field to where we're at now offensively, defensively, and

184
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 8: special teams.

185
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: With the new schemes and new.

186
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 8: Rules that are in place, just everybody getting comfortable and

187
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 8: you can see a huge difference and we're just getting better.

188
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 8: And I know it's cliche to say, but after being

189
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 8: on the first day to where we're at now, it's

190
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 8: like a side of relief because it's like everybody's finally

191
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 8: feeling comfortable and learning kind of what is expected younger

192
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 8: guys and then the older guys trying to continue that

193
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 8: standard that's been in place.

194
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: You get to the point where you get to that

195
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: was good you bully did right there.

196
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: When you get to the point where you get to

197
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: choose what team that you want to go to as

198
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: a pass pressure is how much moo withdrawal is that

199
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: you get the chance.

200
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: To work with Jumpston.

201
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a really good question. I think it's a

202
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 8: big draw right now because not many teams have somebody

203
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 8: that's like him, that is has played in the NFL

204
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 8: a long time and was successful and is a high

205
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 8: level coach that is teaching technique. A lot of places

206
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 8: worry about scheme. This place worries about scheme and technique,

207
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 8: and he's a pass rush technician and he's very very good,

208
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 8: and he's helped me a lot in my career, and

209
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 8: he's helped other players, and I'm excited to get back

210
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 8: to work with him again.

211
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 4: You had, Joe Evans had a very long night the

212
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 4: other night in there.

213
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: Big Joe, unbelievable amount of work and you obviously sat

214
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 2: out the game. What do you talk about on the

215
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: sidelines with somebody like.

216
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 8: Jen, Yeah, that's mister Iowa right there. He's a Iowa

217
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 8: hawkey if I've ever seen one. Big Joe. Just love

218
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 8: his passion for the game. I love that he didn't

219
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 8: complain one bit. I mean, not only is it a

220
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 8: interview for this place, right it's an interview for thirty

221
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 8: one other teams.

222
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: And he did a really good job.

223
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 8: Obviously he wasn't perfect, but to play as many snaps

224
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 8: as he did, and you know the you know, his

225
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 8: pass rush and just being all over the place.

226
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: I was proud of him.

227
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 8: And you just I don't try to I try to

228
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 8: stay back and if they come up and ask, you know,

229
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 8: or if I see a pointer, I don't. I don't

230
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 8: ever want to be in somebody's flow like that, especially

231
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 8: when they're grinding the way he was grinded to be, Like, hey,

232
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 8: do this. You know, it's easy for me to say so.

233
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 8: I was really proud of how he played, Like it's awesome.

234
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 8: He's a he is a team favorite right now for sure.

235
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: Is talking about your role kind.

236
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 4: Of focusing a lot of the pass rush being passed

237
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 4: rush of the season.

238
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 5: How much can that focus that level Pasdelli into that

239
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 5: aspect the game really helped home better pass rusher at

240
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 5: this stage your career.

241
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I have answered this one before, but

242
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 8: again I'll answer it again. I haven't played on the

243
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 8: ball like this for very long out of my eleven years. Now,

244
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 8: this will be year three out of my eleven that

245
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 8: I solely haven't had to worry about playing middle linebacker

246
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 8: with a Green DoD and telling I still kind of

247
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 8: tell people what to do every once in a while,

248
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 8: but not as much communication. Just focusing on my task

249
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 8: and opportunity to win a one on one and just

250
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 8: getting better at it and grinding at it. It started

251
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 8: back this offseason with my past rush coach in Salt Lake,

252
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 8: who we grinded a lot, and then with Chuck, you know,

253
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 8: grinding it when I've gotten here to just get better

254
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 8: and then not only myself, but to continue to harp

255
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 8: on the other guys too, like, I don't want to

256
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 8: just do it by myself. I want everybody to come

257
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 8: with me type of you. And I'm excited. Uh Doff

258
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 8: has looked really really.

259
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 3: Good this camp.

260
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 8: I'm excited to see him play and Jaws getting healthier,

261
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 8: and then t Rob's gotten a lot better. So the

262
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 8: group is really grown, and I'm happy that everybody is

263
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 8: trying to perfect their craft because one year can change

264
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 8: your life, and so I hope all those guys really

265
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 8: continue to grind because they they're able to now have

266
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 8: the opportunity to change their lives.

267
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: That was good, you win you Yeah, kind.

268
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: Of touched on it at the end of that.

269
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 6: But the young Edgebrushers that are expected to make that

270
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 6: league this season, where are you see nerve as growth

271
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 6: and development?

272
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 8: That's a good question. I've just like, I like to

273
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 8: be honest. I mean, we can go collective. I'm just

274
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 8: gonna put them all together because all of them are

275
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 8: learning at different paces right. Some have been injured, some

276
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 8: have been on the field a lot, and now would

277
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 8: just be I would just say confidence is the main

278
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 8: thing that I've seen, the confidence to really know their job.

279
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 8: And then the confidence of making plays and being able

280
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 8: to feed off one and stacking another. And you know

281
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 8: that's just not only confidence but confidence a practice and

282
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 8: then putting a week and putting a preseason game, and

283
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 8: you're gonna see it this next Uh, this whole week

284
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 8: we've seen progression, but then you'll see it in this

285
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 8: next game. The progression of just that confidence. I really

286
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 8: think it is going to continue to show each and

287
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 8: every game.

288
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: How are you seeing him leave the offense, leave.

289
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 8: The offense and taking short Yeah, I'm.

290
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: Very proud of him.

291
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 8: Me and LJ are have a good relationship and I'm

292
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 8: happy for that. And just seeing his growth not only

293
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 8: as a player but as a person's awesome too. Just

294
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 8: his leadership skills being off the field is grown, and

295
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 8: then his leadership skills on the field has grown. Just

296
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 8: wanting something done precisely and going and communicating that and

297
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 8: then just talking trash. He's always going to do that.

298
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 8: So it's always fun to have those competitive periods against them,

299
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 8: and you know, just him working on his craft. You

300
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 8: can see his mechanics, you can see him, you know,

301
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 8: pushing the ball down the field and then just running.

302
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 8: Right now, I don't know very many people right now

303
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 8: that can catch them. I mean, he's he's one of one,

304
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 8: and it's been really impressive to see him in the

305
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 8: open field during practice. Obviously we're not tackling, but there

306
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 8: are a lot of misses are happening. So it's fun

307
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 8: to go against a top quarterback like that every day

308
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 8: to get better and just excited to see what he's

309
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 8: going to do this year. When you came your last year,

310
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 8: you saw Ronnie Stanley's running through some of.

311
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: The minor injuries that you can't feel that.

312
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, what we've seen him with you know, coming by

313
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: guess three or four weeks now in Rafrey camp for

314
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: him as he's like attention.

315
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: To how do you feel about being the last question? Though?

316
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 8: Okay, winner, Ronnie's done a really good job of blocking

317
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 8: out the noise. I know he dealt with it a

318
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 8: lot last year and it's tough. I've been in that

319
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 8: situation too a time in my career where you just

320
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 8: had one of those injury bug years and you just

321
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 8: try to you know, we call it thug it out

322
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 8: or you're just trying to do whatever you can to

323
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 8: get through the games and try to play it the

324
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 8: best of your ability and I think he did that.

325
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 8: He literally laid it on the line for trying to

326
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 8: win a championship last year, and you know, he deserves

327
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 8: a lot of credit for that. But I know, I know,

328
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 8: I don't want to speak for himself, but I know

329
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 8: he wants to be great, right And this year he's

330
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 8: done a great job of leading the group. He's been

331
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 8: kind of the spokes men for that line with the

332
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 8: guys like Moses and Kevin Zeidler leaning. He's really done

333
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 8: a great job of being the voice and you know,

334
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 8: picking it up and letting everybody know and you know,

335
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 8: they need to be better and beyond their stuff. It's

336
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 8: awesome to see, especially during one on ones, he's coaching

337
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 8: the guys up and they're getting better and he's got

338
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 8: to be that to go where we need to go.

339
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 8: And it's awesome to see him play at a high level.

340
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 8: And it's awesome to go against too. He's a top tackle,

341
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 8: he's been all Pro. So it's a good look for everybody.

342
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 8: So awesome. Yeah, thank you, guys.

343
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: Lastly, we heard from pass rush coach Chuck Smith. He's

344
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: really an expert in the past rush department. He talked

345
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: about how the Ravens was going to grow in that area.

346
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 6: You obviously had a big impact on Justin Mettabka last year.

347
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 6: Can you talk to us a little about how you coach,

348
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 6: any differences and similarities you see in coaching into your

349
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 6: versus edge pass rushing.

350
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 7: Well, the first thing is making the inside guys understand

351
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 7: that they're more than just big guys. You know, let

352
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 7: him know Beaks know their understanding that you're more just

353
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 7: a two gapper. In the modern era, now pass rush,

354
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 7: the big guys are getting double digit sacks if you

355
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 7: look around the NFL. So the mindset of the traditional

356
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 7: three four team was that the big guy's gotta be

357
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 7: what space eaters. Now as you see from a guy

358
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 7: like Meta Beak and some more other guys that can

359
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 7: you know, really rush the passer and around the league,

360
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 7: you know, you try to explain to them. It's a

361
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: mindset initially about you know, how do I see myself?

362
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 7: Because if you pigeonhole yourself into I'm just a big guy,

363
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 7: too gapper, then you always be that way.

364
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 5: So and given the player a lot of credit Beak.

365
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 7: Putting a lot of work of training, he continues to

366
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 7: be on the same regimen and he works hard and

367
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 7: he bleeds in himself.

368
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: To answer your question one, the difference of similarities to ed.

369
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 7: Rushing, Oh, the difference is, well, the bodies inside are

370
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 7: a little more compact together. The guys outside are more streamlined.

371
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 7: And I call it like the one second rule. For

372
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 7: guys inside, you have to execute your move at one

373
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 7: second because the offensive linemen are gonna have their hands

374
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 7: at one second. Outside it's somewhere around two seconds. So

375
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 7: when you understand that, it's the difference really between a

376
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 7: fastball and a curveball, you know what I mean. So

377
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 7: inside it's gonna be a fastball. Outside it's more of

378
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 7: a curveball. To answer your question, yep, all right.

379
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: Cool.

380
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 2: What special about Kyle Van Nory's in passbaw.

381
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 7: He wants to be a great pass rusher, And I

382
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 7: think what's really special is that after all these years

383
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 7: he's been at multiple teams now he says, man, I've

384
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 7: never had a chance to just focus on all pass rush.

385
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 7: I mean he's a nickel rusher and all the other

386
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 7: places he was off the ball, he was on the ball.

387
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 7: Sort of thing that's cool is he really understands how

388
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 7: the games work, you know, inside because he's done those

389
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 7: kinds of things and he just loves it, and he talks.

390
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 7: We talk about pass rush all the time. When he

391
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 7: comes off the field, We'll be walking by each other,

392
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 7: we talk about pass rush and offseason, you know, he'll

393
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 7: send me some videos because he put in a lot

394
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 7: of work this offseason as well as last offseason, and he.

395
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 5: Really just loves pass rush.

396
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 7: And it's pretty awesome when you get a guy, you know,

397
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 7: at this stage that says, you know what, I'm cool

398
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 7: to come off, but basically come off the bench, so

399
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 7: to speak, No, not as it started, not traditionally bench

400
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 7: sounds kind of a little harsh, but you know what

401
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, to come off and accept my

402
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 7: role and thrive at it. And he's always just talking

403
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 7: and has great ideas and as everybody here you might

404
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 7: have noticed, I mean, dude is super smart. I mean

405
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 7: he's really I mean, he played for Belichick. He played

406
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 7: for a lot of great guys, so that, you know,

407
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 7: it does give you some credibility with understanding defense with.

408
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 4: The Daphe what do you what do you what you

409
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 4: need to do to take that sure the next step?

410
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: Obviously he's happy I see you out here.

411
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 5: He's in the back for a lot.

412
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: What do you what does he need to do? Just

413
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: kind of make that next ram I.

414
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 5: Guess the games.

415
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 7: Okay, well, let me explain something first about a DAFE.

416
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 7: Let's so for everyone here that looked at last year, Okay,

417
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 7: first things first, a DAFE came out, you know, smoking right, Okay,

418
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 7: a DAPE end up having five sacks, all right, he

419
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 7: missed what four or five games? Pretty miss four and

420
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 7: then he went out half on another against five games.

421
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 7: He ends up being on a team that brings in

422
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 7: two veterans that get over.

423
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 5: Two hundred and fifty snaps. Easy.

424
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 7: So when you look at the big picture, if a

425
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 7: DAPE is healthy, and remember we gave JD and kV

426
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 7: almost five hundred is it might be more that because

427
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 7: I think JD had over three hundred something snaps. So,

428
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 7: from all fairness to a DAFE, and I know you know,

429
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 7: it's all about production, and I do understand that when

430
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 7: you look at it from a past first standpoint, the

431
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 7: numbers just didn't equate because the guys absorbed a lot

432
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 7: of his reps too, you know what I mean. So,

433
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 7: and that's not making an excuse for him, but that's

434
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 7: just keeping it, being truthful about it.

435
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: From his situation now, what.

436
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 7: He needs to do first and foremost, he just needs

437
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 7: to have those reps. He needs to be on the

438
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 7: field and continue to get those reps. He needs to

439
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 7: continue to you know, do what he's doing now, you know,

440
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 7: playing fast, executing his moves and things like that. And

441
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 7: you know, if he gets those five games and those

442
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 7: other f m arguably four or five hundred.

443
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 5: Reps, heah, he's a double digit sacker, you know what

444
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 5: I mean.

445
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 7: And and again even again he missed for and to

446
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 7: have five games go count, I mean, you got I

447
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 7: always hear the little jokes about sometimes about him missing sacks.

448
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 7: He did miss seven eight nine sacks I mean in

449
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 7: the season. So again he's getting there. He's gonna be

450
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 7: an a list rusher, and I'm just excited for him.

451
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 7: You know, he's buying in and as he always has.

452
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 7: He's a good dude, and no one deserves to finally

453
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 7: reach that pinnacle in the DAFE. And I think he's gonna, uh,

454
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 7: you know, go a hundred percent to reach that goal.

455
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 5: Last year, guys let lead in sacks.

456
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 7: He probably before the season that if people wanted to

457
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 7: look at you guys that way, but this year have

458
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 7: to lose in JD. Now he learned some of these

459
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 7: name whereas the passman. How much you guys, players and

460
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 7: even yourself take that as a challenge.

461
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 5: Man, I really don't aven't care what people think.

462
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 7: I mean being honest with you, because at the end

463
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 7: of the day, you know, we're gonna go out and

464
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 7: do our best. If we don't reach the goal that

465
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 7: we were we want. Everybody wants to be the best

466
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 7: pass rust in the league. But from my standpoint and

467
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 7: the guys, if it doesn't happen, we're not gonna be like,

468
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 7: oh man, We're gonna get back to the drawing board

469
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 7: and see what happens moving forward, you know. But it's

470
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 7: not one of those things. And it relates to JD.

471
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 7: When JD came in, I taught JD's okay, So I

472
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 7: mean everyone you know he came in here and got taught.

473
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 7: He's already being taught. So JD wasn't some you know,

474
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 7: what do they say, a guy who came in and

475
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 7: saved to day. No, we had already trained him. So

476
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 7: he was really already under kind of the Ravens somewhat window.

477
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 7: Because I have been training him for years. So but nah,

478
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to be But that's really weird. I

479
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 7: don't even think about that. I could care less. All

480
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 7: I want to do. My goal is to really impact

481
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 7: quarterbacks by beating them up.

482
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 5: Similar as that.

483
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 7: If we beat up the quarterbacks and his ending's not

484
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 7: always the way he wants, then we've had an impact

485
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 7: and the numbers will come.

486
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 6: When did you first hear about Ajiza Isaac Isaac?

487
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: And what did you like about him that made you

488
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: find him on the team?

489
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 5: And now since then, what.

490
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: Are you working about him?

491
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 5: Well? First time I seen him just watching Penn State Auburn.

492
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 7: Now it was that last year or two years ago,

493
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 7: Penn State Auburn and they beat the Brakes.

494
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 5: Out of Auburn.

495
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 7: Now I don't know any War Eagles around here, but

496
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 7: I'm of all. But that's a whole nother story. But

497
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: I watched him. He was fantastic. And when I watched

498
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 7: his film, he was explosive, had power, had you know,

499
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 7: the ability to change direction and all those other things.

500
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 7: They was super smart, you know, and uh, you know,

501
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 7: he had good length and I'm not a person that's

502
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 7: caught up. And he's tall and long. I could care less,

503
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 7: but he's tall and long, and he has you know,

504
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 7: a lot of strength, and he was a good dude.

505
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 7: I got a chance to talk to him and thought

506
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 7: he would fit in. And we were in the market

507
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 7: for someone, but also wanted someone that can fit in,

508
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 7: has the right mindset that can work in a team,

509
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 7: cause the team.

510
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 5: Was kind of like a puzzle.

511
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 7: All the pieces gotta fit and our room has got

512
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 7: to be like that as well.

513
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 5: I like, you know, a DC.

514
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 7: I mean he's out there just getting started, you know,

515
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 7: and it's exciting to see him do some good things

516
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 7: about obviously, hell of today fading in y'allo is hitting

517
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 7: this rep fields.

518
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 4: What do you see in his game?

519
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 3: He does?

520
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 6: He need to make his strikes kind of have to

521
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 6: break out.

522
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 5: And this year, well you know, you want number one.

523
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 7: I'm sure Harbes has talked about it from I can't

524
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 7: get into the medical stuff, but I know he's working hard,

525
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 7: you know. I know he's you know, had a good

526
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 7: spend today. I know he's running to the ball, I

527
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 7: know he's striking blocks. I know he's showing signs that

528
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 7: you know, he's improving, you know. And I've had a

529
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 7: torn acl and anybody's ever had one knows.

530
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 5: It takes time to come back.

531
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 7: But he's out there fighting, he's out there scraping, and

532
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 7: I just think that if he continues the way he's going,

533
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 7: he's gonna, you know, have success because he knows how

534
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 7: to He's got moves. Now, we just gotta, you know,

535
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 7: give him the opportunity, you know, for him to be

536
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 7: healthy to be able to execute those moves.

537
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 4: Soh some turnover from the pass rushing her blaster to

538
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 4: this year, you make sure, not really caring about.

539
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 5: The sack totals that they'll come.

540
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 4: What is it that at this point can't that excites

541
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 4: you the most of the move?

542
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 7: Well, we're in the year two of guys who we've developed,

543
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 7: the guys inside. Everybody in our unit has a skilled move.

544
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 7: Everybody in the unit understands the language we talk. We

545
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 7: have a specif ethic language that we taught. We have

546
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 7: certain moves, how we say it, certain approaches, certain things

547
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 7: that we wanted to kind of implement last year where

548
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 7: everybody on the front has can be a threat at

549
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 7: some point, whether we're in our raven group with three bigs,

550
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 7: you know, Mike p y'all watched Mike p he was

551
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 7: rushing last year, Roddy got sacks, Travis got sacks. Herb

552
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 7: had three sacks last year. So you want, you know,

553
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 7: everyone to be able to do that. And that's kind

554
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 7: of the good thing is that we want everybody to

555
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 7: be a threat threat. You know, to ask your question,

556
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 7: I might have been rambling. Okay, I'm sorry.

557
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 6: About body competition of pass rushers or Tavius Robinson's kind

558
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 6: of a unique building a guy and he's had some

559
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 6: time to develop in the system.

560
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 3: Now what do you see from him?

561
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 5: Man, he's a glass eater.

562
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 7: Tav's Robinson is He's never turned down one rep since

563
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 7: he's been here. That's the best way to describe this dude.

564
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 7: Every play and I'm not exaggerating. He has given effort

565
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 7: every day. Tavus Robinson listens to the coach every day.

566
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 7: He works out hard, he's early every day when he

567
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 7: gets in those drills, he puts hands on people in

568
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 7: the run. He continues to work hard to continue to

569
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 7: develop as a pass rusher and his main responsibility for

570
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 7: us because remember Tavi's played last year. I mean Tavia's

571
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 7: was in big games early on. He's not I mean

572
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 7: he's not like a second year guy's never played. I

573
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 7: mean he's went out there and smashed with some of

574
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 7: the great teams that we faced. But I really can't

575
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 7: say enough about him as far as who he is

576
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 7: and how physical he is and he takes shows no mercy.

577
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 7: Tavius Robinson is everything you look for and what like

578
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 7: Coach Harbaugh says A raven Tavius and I always member here,

579
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 7: I'm gonna tell you he has never turned down a rep.

580
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 7: He's never not run to the ball, and that's that's

581
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 7: saying a lot about a player. And I mean he's uh,

582
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 7: it's all the truth. I'm just telling you who he

583
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 7: really is. And everybody here will say that.
