<v Speaker 2>Another great day and uh a good a good camp practice.

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Our guys really got locked in and focused on trying

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 2>to improve and uh competed a lot of ones against

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 2>ones today and it was good to see the competition

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's how you get better. What questions you have.

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I Kyle old Man annoyed from.

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 2>The beginning, what kind of difference does that bring as

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.639
<v Speaker 2>far as his leadership in a position group where he's

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>definite the better There no question Kyle has definitely I

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 2>think he's enjoyed being here from the beginning. I mean,

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, you come in once the season has begun

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.279
<v Speaker 2>and you just kind of trying to play catch up

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>with with the with the defensive scheme, but also with

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the relationships. Now he's one of the guys. Everybody knows

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 2>him respect. He's definitely a leader, knows the defense very

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 2>well and practicing hard every day. So it should should

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 2>be a plus for us.

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 4>In regards to Chuck Smith, kind of that last season

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 4>definitely improved your pass rush and a year positions as

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 4>pass rushing coach more specific with his specialty being in

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 4>that avenue, just how much is that beneficial for you?

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>And then you know it's kind of a unique way

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.559
<v Speaker 2>to do it. And Chuck, Chuck's it all around football coach.

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, he can coach. He coaches every part of

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>the position. He was a pass rusher as a player,

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>one of one of the all time great pass rushers,

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and then kind of took that on as a as

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>a as an obsession almost, I would say, and he's

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>become one of one of the maybe the best foremost

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 2>pass rushing coach in the business. I feel that way

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 2>about him. So to have him here with our guys,

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean that speaks a lot to what we're you know,

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I think the way the guys are building into his

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>style and what he teaches, and I know they love it.

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, they love learning from him. So let's see

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>where it takes is it was good last year?

0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 4>John?

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Along those lines, how much did Chuck contribute to the

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>decision to get it this draft from Jeoh? Chuck was

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>a part of that for sure. I mean he's looking

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>at all the pass rushers and all the all the

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>trades of those outside backers generally, So he had a

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>big influence on that. Practicing in the flow.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they always have.

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 2>A sort of a ramp up plan that we try

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to abide by and follow, and those guys are on

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 2>that on that path. But it was good to see

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 2>him back out there. Pile Hamilton are beginning to go

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>to work on the train. If you have an update

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>on him and what kind of your plan for him

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 2>the next week, right, Well, yeah, it would be kind

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>of ramping back a little bit. He's he's good, you know,

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a it's kind of a minor a sprain,

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>i'd say a sprain. And so we got out there

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and moved around little bit today and he'll just kind

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>of progress each day a little more be out there going.

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh so shots like that l brackets all at once?

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Is it just shot bag?

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 5>Is it just a matter of a pain issue? More

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 5>injury play and way back?

0:02:58.440 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Do we really need to get in all that specifically? Okay,

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that. He'll be he'll be fine, He'll be okay,

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>he'll be fine. He's trying. He's trying to gt himself

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>out there and as much as he can, and he'll

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:08.519
<v Speaker 2>be out there soon.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 6>Our Garius Washington's had a couple of really good practices

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 6>in a row. Coaches have spoken very highly of him

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 6>over last season and.

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 4>A half or so.

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 6>Talk about what you've seen in his development over the

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 6>last while.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Then, yeah, you know it's funny. Darius and I had

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>a conversation today in my office and it was a

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>good one. Wasn't called to the principal's office. It was

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 2>just to guy of talk about his vision for the

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>season and what he thought, uh, he could accomplish. And

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>he's playing at a high level. You saw it today.

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 2>He's playing both safety positions. He's playing the nickel and

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>you could play the he could play the corner outside

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>if you had to. You got to get you out

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>of the game. And he could go in a dime

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>if he had to. He knows the defense that well.

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 2>His style is is pretty much patented. That's his style,

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 2>the way he plays, and I think it's a style

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>worthy of emulating. So very glad he's on our team.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 3>You can boil down what it is, Josh Johnson. That's

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 3>kind of earned your confidence over the years.

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 7>What is it?

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, Josh Johnson's a vet, he's a pro.

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>He's he's when he's played in games he's played, He's

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>played good football in games. Hadn't been a lot, but

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 2>he's played good football games. He's gonna run our offense. Well,

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 2>we we love Josh damn.

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 4>Like, what is that Ramball Plambell play?

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Would you like to see him in the preseason? I

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>would love to see him in Preseason's just gonna depend

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>on the you know, his ability to do it with

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 2>the uh, the recovery from he had bilateral uh sports

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>herney of surgery. So uh, I think he's got a

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 2>good shot. You just have to see how it comes

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>along the next week or.

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 3>So on the entight imfilstation. How do you see Kenny

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 3>to his male people being in the bestat in blocking game?

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, Uh, he's kind of a surprise as a blocker.

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>And the physicality if he saw it out there today,

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>he's he's he's he's definitely a player NFL player and

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 2>coaches kid. I mean, he's tough, he's not afraid. He

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>throws it in there and plays bigger than his size,

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I think he's doing a good job.

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I think we're just one of the.

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Trendit Ganthier several weeks in. How do you kind of

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>see the team come together.

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Around set out as the.

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 4>Sort of this and building around that?

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 2>You say it against complicated questions. You just asked me,

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 2>I kind of lost I lost you there. To be

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, how has it you got to.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Come together around the vision, change to set it out.

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 4>At the start?

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.359
<v Speaker 2>All the teams come together around the vision. That is

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of a complicated question. I would say, very well,

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I think the vision what you become

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 2>as a football team is a product of the people

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>who do it and what they do, you know, and

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 2>what happens every day and the things the challenges that

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 2>you have and the obstacles you have to overcome and

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 2>how you approach those things and if you're willing to

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>keep fighting and keep getting back up and uh and

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>never quit and then you know it's it's not The

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 2>fight's not over until you say it is, no matter

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 2>what happens, and that's you know, it's it's a big statement,

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.720
<v Speaker 2>but camp's a little bit like that. You know, you

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>got to keep coming back every day and come out

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 2>and grind and and try to become better, become a

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 2>better player, to better team every day. And I think

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 2>our guys are doing that and that's really the task

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 2>at hand right now. And our areas had another nice

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>practice that's really got a lot of them came up.

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 1>How significant you know, he's obviously just that it's being healthy.

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 4>And then obviously if you got him the terms of

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 4>the secondaries, this should be hard.

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 8>For game with me and everything.

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Can you ask me again, are Darius how significant is

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 2>it haven't been happen to see and making plays?

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the same question you asked. All right, it's very significant.

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>He's playing very well and he I would just tell

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 2>you this. I mean, you're right. I mean, it's great

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 2>to have Maltres. He's been hurt a couple of years ago,

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and he's not He's he's healthy, and I think he's

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 2>fulfilling what we always hoped he would do. And I

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 2>really expect him have a big year. I think he's

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna play great football for us. So it's a it's

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 2>a big deal. Yeah, absolutely too.

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, did Lamar get the answer that he wanted when.

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 3>He showed the rest of the I pad.

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a good question. I don't know, it's a great question. Now,

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>that's the best question today right there.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 1>We also heard from veteran linebacker Kyle van Doy.

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 6>Has it been having this full year to be with

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 6>the team now as opposed to coming in so lain

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:05.919
<v Speaker 6>What kind of differences are they?

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 8>A lot of differences. I know, the playbook that helps,

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 8>no teammates, and then just yeah, a lot of different things,

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 8>just expectations, standard and people on staff just kind of

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 8>just come in and flow, and it's been awesome. It's

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 8>fun getting to see young guys compete, and myself being young,

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 8>competing out there with them.

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 3>It's been good.

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 4>Jokingly or maybe not jokingly, said you're at the quodium

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 4>after one of the games last year that printing camps overrated.

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 8>That's funny, that's good, you're good. Good memory weeks. Yeah,

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 8>I mean for me, it's I'm here, so I'm gonna

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 8>do what I have to do to get better. Right

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 8>That was then, this is now. We're getting better as

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 8>a unit. Just the growth from the first day on

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 8>the field to where we're at now offensively, defensively, and

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 8>special teams.

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 3>With the new schemes and new.

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 8>Rules that are in place, just everybody getting comfortable and

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 8>you can see a huge difference and we're just getting better.

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 8>And I know it's cliche to say, but after being

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 8>on the first day to where we're at now, it's

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 8>like a side of relief because it's like everybody's finally

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 8>feeling comfortable and learning kind of what is expected younger

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 8>guys and then the older guys trying to continue that

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 8>standard that's been in place.

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 3>You get to the point where you get to that

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 3>was good you bully did right there.

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 2>When you get to the point where you get to

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>choose what team that you want to go to as

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 2>a pass pressure is how much moo withdrawal is that

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 2>you get the chance.

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 3>To work with Jumpston.

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's a really good question. I think it's a

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 8>big draw right now because not many teams have somebody

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 8>that's like him, that is has played in the NFL

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 8>a long time and was successful and is a high

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 8>level coach that is teaching technique. A lot of places

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 8>worry about scheme. This place worries about scheme and technique,

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 8>and he's a pass rush technician and he's very very good,

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 8>and he's helped me a lot in my career, and

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.959
<v Speaker 8>he's helped other players, and I'm excited to get back

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 8>to work with him again.

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 4>You had, Joe Evans had a very long night the

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 4>other night in there.

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Big Joe, unbelievable amount of work and you obviously sat

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.959
<v Speaker 2>out the game. What do you talk about on the

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 2>sidelines with somebody like.

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 8>Jen, Yeah, that's mister Iowa right there. He's a Iowa

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 8>hawkey if I've ever seen one. Big Joe. Just love

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 8>his passion for the game. I love that he didn't

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 8>complain one bit. I mean, not only is it a

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 8>interview for this place, right it's an interview for thirty

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 8>one other teams.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 3>And he did a really good job.

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 8>Obviously he wasn't perfect, but to play as many snaps

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.680
<v Speaker 8>as he did, and you know the you know, his

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 8>pass rush and just being all over the place.

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 3>I was proud of him.

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 8>And you just I don't try to I try to

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 8>stay back and if they come up and ask, you know,

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 8>or if I see a pointer, I don't. I don't

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 8>ever want to be in somebody's flow like that, especially

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.840
<v Speaker 8>when they're grinding the way he was grinded to be, Like, hey,

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 8>do this. You know, it's easy for me to say so.

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.199
<v Speaker 8>I was really proud of how he played, Like it's awesome.

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 8>He's a he is a team favorite right now for sure.

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Is talking about your role kind.

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Of focusing a lot of the pass rush being passed

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 4>rush of the season.

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 5>How much can that focus that level Pasdelli into that

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 5>aspect the game really helped home better pass rusher at

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 5>this stage your career.

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think I have answered this one before, but

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 8>again I'll answer it again. I haven't played on the

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 8>ball like this for very long out of my eleven years. Now,

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 8>this will be year three out of my eleven that

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 8>I solely haven't had to worry about playing middle linebacker

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 8>with a Green DoD and telling I still kind of

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 8>tell people what to do every once in a while,

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 8>but not as much communication. Just focusing on my task

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.679
<v Speaker 8>and opportunity to win a one on one and just

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 8>getting better at it and grinding at it. It started

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 8>back this offseason with my past rush coach in Salt Lake,

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 8>who we grinded a lot, and then with Chuck, you know,

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 8>grinding it when I've gotten here to just get better

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.839
<v Speaker 8>and then not only myself, but to continue to harp

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 8>on the other guys too, like, I don't want to

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 8>just do it by myself. I want everybody to come

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 8>with me type of you. And I'm excited. Uh Doff

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 8>has looked really really.

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Good this camp.

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 8>I'm excited to see him play and Jaws getting healthier,

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 8>and then t Rob's gotten a lot better. So the

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 8>group is really grown, and I'm happy that everybody is

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 8>trying to perfect their craft because one year can change

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 8>your life, and so I hope all those guys really

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 8>continue to grind because they they're able to now have

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 8>the opportunity to change their lives.

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 3>That was good, you win you Yeah, kind.

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 5>Of touched on it at the end of that.

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 6>But the young Edgebrushers that are expected to make that

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 6>league this season, where are you see nerve as growth

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 6>and development?

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 8>That's a good question. I've just like, I like to

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 8>be honest. I mean, we can go collective. I'm just

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 8>gonna put them all together because all of them are

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 8>learning at different paces right. Some have been injured, some

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 8>have been on the field a lot, and now would

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 8>just be I would just say confidence is the main

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 8>thing that I've seen, the confidence to really know their job.

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 8>And then the confidence of making plays and being able

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 8>to feed off one and stacking another. And you know

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 8>that's just not only confidence but confidence a practice and

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 8>then putting a week and putting a preseason game, and

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 8>you're gonna see it this next Uh, this whole week

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 8>we've seen progression, but then you'll see it in this

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 8>next game. The progression of just that confidence. I really

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 8>think it is going to continue to show each and

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.559
<v Speaker 8>every game.

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>How are you seeing him leave the offense, leave.

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 8>The offense and taking short Yeah, I'm.

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 3>Very proud of him.

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 8>Me and LJ are have a good relationship and I'm

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.839
<v Speaker 8>happy for that. And just seeing his growth not only

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 8>as a player but as a person's awesome too. Just

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 8>his leadership skills being off the field is grown, and

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 8>then his leadership skills on the field has grown. Just

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 8>wanting something done precisely and going and communicating that and

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 8>then just talking trash. He's always going to do that.

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 8>So it's always fun to have those competitive periods against them,

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 8>and you know, just him working on his craft. You

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 8>can see his mechanics, you can see him, you know,

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 8>pushing the ball down the field and then just running.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 8>Right now, I don't know very many people right now

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 8>that can catch them. I mean, he's he's one of one,

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 8>and it's been really impressive to see him in the

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 8>open field during practice. Obviously we're not tackling, but there

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 8>are a lot of misses are happening. So it's fun

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 8>to go against a top quarterback like that every day

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 8>to get better and just excited to see what he's

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 8>going to do this year. When you came your last year,

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 8>you saw Ronnie Stanley's running through some of.

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 3>The minor injuries that you can't feel that.

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what we've seen him with you know, coming by

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 4>guess three or four weeks now in Rafrey camp for

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 4>him as he's like attention.

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 3>To how do you feel about being the last question? Though?

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 8>Okay, winner, Ronnie's done a really good job of blocking

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 8>out the noise. I know he dealt with it a

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 8>lot last year and it's tough. I've been in that

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 8>situation too a time in my career where you just

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 8>had one of those injury bug years and you just

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 8>try to you know, we call it thug it out

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 8>or you're just trying to do whatever you can to

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 8>get through the games and try to play it the

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 8>best of your ability and I think he did that.

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 8>He literally laid it on the line for trying to

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 8>win a championship last year, and you know, he deserves

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 8>a lot of credit for that. But I know, I know,

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 8>I don't want to speak for himself, but I know

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 8>he wants to be great, right And this year he's

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 8>done a great job of leading the group. He's been

0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 8>kind of the spokes men for that line with the

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 8>guys like Moses and Kevin Zeidler leaning. He's really done

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 8>a great job of being the voice and you know,

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 8>picking it up and letting everybody know and you know,

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 8>they need to be better and beyond their stuff. It's

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 8>awesome to see, especially during one on ones, he's coaching

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 8>the guys up and they're getting better and he's got

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 8>to be that to go where we need to go.

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 8>And it's awesome to see him play at a high level.

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 8>And it's awesome to go against too. He's a top tackle,

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 8>he's been all Pro. So it's a good look for everybody.

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 8>So awesome. Yeah, thank you, guys.

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Lastly, we heard from pass rush coach Chuck Smith. He's

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>really an expert in the past rush department. He talked

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>about how the Ravens was going to grow in that area.

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 6>You obviously had a big impact on Justin Mettabka last year.

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 6>Can you talk to us a little about how you coach,

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 6>any differences and similarities you see in coaching into your

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 6>versus edge pass rushing.

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 7>Well, the first thing is making the inside guys understand

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 7>that they're more than just big guys. You know, let

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 7>him know Beaks know their understanding that you're more just

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 7>a two gapper. In the modern era, now pass rush,

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 7>the big guys are getting double digit sacks if you

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.880
<v Speaker 7>look around the NFL. So the mindset of the traditional

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 7>three four team was that the big guy's gotta be

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 7>what space eaters. Now as you see from a guy

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 7>like Meta Beak and some more other guys that can

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.719
<v Speaker 7>you know, really rush the passer and around the league,

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.359
<v Speaker 7>you know, you try to explain to them. It's a

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 7>mindset initially about you know, how do I see myself?

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 7>Because if you pigeonhole yourself into I'm just a big guy,

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 7>too gapper, then you always be that way.

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 5>So and given the player a lot of credit Beak.

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Putting a lot of work of training, he continues to

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.119
<v Speaker 7>be on the same regimen and he works hard and

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 7>he bleeds in himself.

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 3>To answer your question one, the difference of similarities to ed.

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.240
<v Speaker 7>Rushing, Oh, the difference is, well, the bodies inside are

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 7>a little more compact together. The guys outside are more streamlined.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.359
<v Speaker 7>And I call it like the one second rule. For

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.120
<v Speaker 7>guys inside, you have to execute your move at one

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 7>second because the offensive linemen are gonna have their hands

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.359
<v Speaker 7>at one second. Outside it's somewhere around two seconds. So

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.959
<v Speaker 7>when you understand that, it's the difference really between a

0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 7>fastball and a curveball, you know what I mean. So

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 7>inside it's gonna be a fastball. Outside it's more of

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 7>a curveball. To answer your question, yep, all right.

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Cool.

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 2>What special about Kyle Van Nory's in passbaw.

0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 7>He wants to be a great pass rusher, And I

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.680
<v Speaker 7>think what's really special is that after all these years

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 7>he's been at multiple teams now he says, man, I've

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 7>never had a chance to just focus on all pass rush.

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 7>I mean he's a nickel rusher and all the other

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 7>places he was off the ball, he was on the ball.

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 7>Sort of thing that's cool is he really understands how

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 7>the games work, you know, inside because he's done those

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.880
<v Speaker 7>kinds of things and he just loves it, and he talks.

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 7>We talk about pass rush all the time. When he

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 7>comes off the field, We'll be walking by each other,

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 7>we talk about pass rush and offseason, you know, he'll

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.959
<v Speaker 7>send me some videos because he put in a lot

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 7>of work this offseason as well as last offseason, and he.

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 5>Really just loves pass rush.

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 7>And it's pretty awesome when you get a guy, you know,

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 7>at this stage that says, you know what, I'm cool

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.199
<v Speaker 7>to come off, but basically come off the bench, so

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.920
<v Speaker 7>to speak, No, not as it started, not traditionally bench

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 7>sounds kind of a little harsh, but you know what

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you know, to come off and accept my

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 7>role and thrive at it. And he's always just talking

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 7>and has great ideas and as everybody here you might

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.719
<v Speaker 7>have noticed, I mean, dude is super smart. I mean

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 7>he's really I mean, he played for Belichick. He played

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 7>for a lot of great guys, so that, you know,

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:33.119
<v Speaker 7>it does give you some credibility with understanding defense with.

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.639
<v Speaker 4>The Daphe what do you what do you what you

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.160
<v Speaker 4>need to do to take that sure the next step?

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 3>Obviously he's happy I see you out here.

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 5>He's in the back for a lot.

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 2>What do you what does he need to do? Just

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:44.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of make that next ram I.

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:46.159
<v Speaker 5>Guess the games.

0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 7>Okay, well, let me explain something first about a DAFE.

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.919
<v Speaker 7>Let's so for everyone here that looked at last year, Okay,

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:58.359
<v Speaker 7>first things first, a DAFE came out, you know, smoking right, Okay,

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:01.960
<v Speaker 7>a DAPE end up having five sacks, all right, he

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 7>missed what four or five games? Pretty miss four and

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 7>then he went out half on another against five games.

0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 7>He ends up being on a team that brings in

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 7>two veterans that get over.

0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 5>Two hundred and fifty snaps. Easy.

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.119
<v Speaker 7>So when you look at the big picture, if a

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 7>DAPE is healthy, and remember we gave JD and kV

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.240
<v Speaker 7>almost five hundred is it might be more that because

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 7>I think JD had over three hundred something snaps. So,

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 7>from all fairness to a DAFE, and I know you know,

0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:30.400
<v Speaker 7>it's all about production, and I do understand that when

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.439
<v Speaker 7>you look at it from a past first standpoint, the

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 7>numbers just didn't equate because the guys absorbed a lot

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.560
<v Speaker 7>of his reps too, you know what I mean. So,

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.480
<v Speaker 7>and that's not making an excuse for him, but that's

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.919
<v Speaker 7>just keeping it, being truthful about it.

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 5>From his situation now, what.

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 7>He needs to do first and foremost, he just needs

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 7>to have those reps. He needs to be on the

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 7>field and continue to get those reps. He needs to

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 7>continue to you know, do what he's doing now, you know,

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 7>playing fast, executing his moves and things like that. And

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:01.640
<v Speaker 7>you know, if he gets those five games and those

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.120
<v Speaker 7>other f m arguably four or five hundred.

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 5>Reps, heah, he's a double digit sacker, you know what

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:06.479
<v Speaker 5>I mean.

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 7>And and again even again he missed for and to

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 7>have five games go count, I mean, you got I

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 7>always hear the little jokes about sometimes about him missing sacks.

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 7>He did miss seven eight nine sacks I mean in

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 7>the season. So again he's getting there. He's gonna be

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.160
<v Speaker 7>an a list rusher, and I'm just excited for him.

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 7>You know, he's buying in and as he always has.

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.199
<v Speaker 7>He's a good dude, and no one deserves to finally

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.399
<v Speaker 7>reach that pinnacle in the DAFE. And I think he's gonna, uh,

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.280
<v Speaker 7>you know, go a hundred percent to reach that goal.

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 5>Last year, guys let lead in sacks.

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.159
<v Speaker 7>He probably before the season that if people wanted to

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 7>look at you guys that way, but this year have

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 7>to lose in JD. Now he learned some of these

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 7>name whereas the passman. How much you guys, players and

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 7>even yourself take that as a challenge.

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 5>Man, I really don't aven't care what people think.

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:54.679
<v Speaker 7>I mean being honest with you, because at the end

0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:56.439
<v Speaker 7>of the day, you know, we're gonna go out and

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.080
<v Speaker 7>do our best. If we don't reach the goal that

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 7>we were we want. Everybody wants to be the best

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 7>pass rust in the league. But from my standpoint and

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 7>the guys, if it doesn't happen, we're not gonna be like,

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:07.960
<v Speaker 7>oh man, We're gonna get back to the drawing board

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.920
<v Speaker 7>and see what happens moving forward, you know. But it's

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.400
<v Speaker 7>not one of those things. And it relates to JD.

0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:16.919
<v Speaker 7>When JD came in, I taught JD's okay, So I

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 7>mean everyone you know he came in here and got taught.

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.480
<v Speaker 7>He's already being taught. So JD wasn't some you know,

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 7>what do they say, a guy who came in and

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 7>saved to day. No, we had already trained him. So

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 7>he was really already under kind of the Ravens somewhat window.

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.400
<v Speaker 7>Because I have been training him for years. So but nah,

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 7>I'm not trying to be But that's really weird. I

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.400
<v Speaker 7>don't even think about that. I could care less. All

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:39.479
<v Speaker 7>I want to do. My goal is to really impact

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 7>quarterbacks by beating them up.

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:42.360
<v Speaker 5>Similar as that.

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 7>If we beat up the quarterbacks and his ending's not

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 7>always the way he wants, then we've had an impact

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:49.120
<v Speaker 7>and the numbers will come.

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 6>When did you first hear about Ajiza Isaac Isaac?

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 2>And what did you like about him that made you

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 2>find him on the team?

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 5>And now since then, what.

0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Are you working about him?

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 5>Well? First time I seen him just watching Penn State Auburn.

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 7>Now it was that last year or two years ago,

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 7>Penn State Auburn and they beat the Brakes.

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 5>Out of Auburn.

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 7>Now I don't know any War Eagles around here, but

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm of all. But that's a whole nother story. But

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 7>I watched him. He was fantastic. And when I watched

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 7>his film, he was explosive, had power, had you know,

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 7>the ability to change direction and all those other things.

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 7>They was super smart, you know, and uh, you know,

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:25.120
<v Speaker 7>he had good length and I'm not a person that's

0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 7>caught up. And he's tall and long. I could care less,

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 7>but he's tall and long, and he has you know,

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 7>a lot of strength, and he was a good dude.

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 7>I got a chance to talk to him and thought

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 7>he would fit in. And we were in the market

0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 7>for someone, but also wanted someone that can fit in,

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.160
<v Speaker 7>has the right mindset that can work in a team,

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:41.880
<v Speaker 7>cause the team.

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:42.640
<v Speaker 5>Was kind of like a puzzle.

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 7>All the pieces gotta fit and our room has got

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 7>to be like that as well.

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:47.200
<v Speaker 5>I like, you know, a DC.

0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.679
<v Speaker 7>I mean he's out there just getting started, you know,

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 7>and it's exciting to see him do some good things

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 7>about obviously, hell of today fading in y'allo is hitting

0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:57.919
<v Speaker 7>this rep fields.

0:23:58.520 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 4>What do you see in his game?

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:00.680
<v Speaker 3>He does?

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:02.399
<v Speaker 6>He need to make his strikes kind of have to

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:02.880
<v Speaker 6>break out.

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 5>And this year, well you know, you want number one.

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:09.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm sure Harbes has talked about it from I can't

0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 7>get into the medical stuff, but I know he's working hard,

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 7>you know. I know he's you know, had a good

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 7>spend today. I know he's running to the ball, I

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 7>know he's striking blocks. I know he's showing signs that

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 7>you know, he's improving, you know. And I've had a

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 7>torn acl and anybody's ever had one knows.

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 5>It takes time to come back.

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:29.959
<v Speaker 7>But he's out there fighting, he's out there scraping, and

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:32.440
<v Speaker 7>I just think that if he continues the way he's going,

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:34.520
<v Speaker 7>he's gonna, you know, have success because he knows how

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.080
<v Speaker 7>to He's got moves. Now, we just gotta, you know,

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.119
<v Speaker 7>give him the opportunity, you know, for him to be

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:41.080
<v Speaker 7>healthy to be able to execute those moves.

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Soh some turnover from the pass rushing her blaster to

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 4>this year, you make sure, not really caring about.

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 5>The sack totals that they'll come.

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 4>What is it that at this point can't that excites

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 4>you the most of the move?

0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 7>Well, we're in the year two of guys who we've developed,

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 7>the guys inside. Everybody in our unit has a skilled move.

0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 7>Everybody in the unit understands the language we talk. We

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:01.320
<v Speaker 7>have a specif ethic language that we taught. We have

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.680
<v Speaker 7>certain moves, how we say it, certain approaches, certain things

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 7>that we wanted to kind of implement last year where

0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:10.640
<v Speaker 7>everybody on the front has can be a threat at

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 7>some point, whether we're in our raven group with three bigs,

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:16.439
<v Speaker 7>you know, Mike p y'all watched Mike p he was

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 7>rushing last year, Roddy got sacks, Travis got sacks. Herb

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:23.040
<v Speaker 7>had three sacks last year. So you want, you know,

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 7>everyone to be able to do that. And that's kind

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.920
<v Speaker 7>of the good thing is that we want everybody to

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:31.680
<v Speaker 7>be a threat threat. You know, to ask your question,

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 7>I might have been rambling. Okay, I'm sorry.

0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 6>About body competition of pass rushers or Tavius Robinson's kind

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:41.439
<v Speaker 6>of a unique building a guy and he's had some

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 6>time to develop in the system.

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:43.719
<v Speaker 3>Now what do you see from him?

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 5>Man, he's a glass eater.

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 7>Tav's Robinson is He's never turned down one rep since

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 7>he's been here. That's the best way to describe this dude.

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 7>Every play and I'm not exaggerating. He has given effort

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 7>every day. Tavus Robinson listens to the coach every day.

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 7>He works out hard, he's early every day when he

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 7>gets in those drills, he puts hands on people in

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 7>the run. He continues to work hard to continue to

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:13.200
<v Speaker 7>develop as a pass rusher and his main responsibility for

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 7>us because remember Tavi's played last year. I mean Tavia's

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:17.959
<v Speaker 7>was in big games early on. He's not I mean

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 7>he's not like a second year guy's never played. I

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 7>mean he's went out there and smashed with some of

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:26.920
<v Speaker 7>the great teams that we faced. But I really can't

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 7>say enough about him as far as who he is

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 7>and how physical he is and he takes shows no mercy.

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 7>Tavius Robinson is everything you look for and what like

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 7>Coach Harbaugh says A raven Tavius and I always member here,

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 7>I'm gonna tell you he has never turned down a rep.

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:46.160
<v Speaker 7>He's never not run to the ball, and that's that's

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:48.919
<v Speaker 7>saying a lot about a player. And I mean he's uh,

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:51.719
<v Speaker 7>it's all the truth. I'm just telling you who he

0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 7>really is. And everybody here will say that.

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:00.240
