Speaker 9: When you say missed some time.

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,600

00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,279
Speaker 2: And then we saw fel Okay had.

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 10: His hand wrapped up pretty good.

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: He's fine, Great, Fine, You offer.

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 11: Any more clarity on the quarterback time today?

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 2: No?

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 7: Well, I always like to talk to the team first

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 7: about our playtime. So I'll cover that with the guys

32
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 7: when we get back in on on Wednesday. We'll play

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 7: some guys in this game, but I'll let you guys

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 7: know as we get closer.

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 12: Don't look like the defense had another good day yesterday?

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 12: Is there any frustration.

37
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: Going on the offense?

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 5: No?

39
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 7: Good days are good for the Browns. I think both

40
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 7: sides are pushing each other. Again, when when you're when

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 7: you're at your best, somebody wins a period and the other

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 7: side wins a period, and that's just getting good at

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 7: football is really just pushing each other.

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 12: And with like it seems like there's been some pressure

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 12: at the side from the pass rush. So you know,

46
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 12: we know that he can escape play. So is it

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 12: hard to exactly judge whether or not to be able

48
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 12: to extend it or how to handle that when there's

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 12: pressure early?

50
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 7: In the settings when when you're working against the defensive

52
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 7: line and when the defensive lineman wins clean, it's obviously

53
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 7: going to be a sack. Now, you continue to play

54
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 7: the place so that you can get better in your

55
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 7: coverage elements down the field, you can get better in

56
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 7: your routes. So there's certain certainly some plays where the

57
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 7: you know, the quarterback's gonna have to make a miss

58
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 7: when you get into games, when you get those real

59
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 7: live reps of when it's real football.

60
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 6: Kevin Anthony ise On, you both talked about kind of

61
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 6: the their bond kind of becoming stronger as they've kind

62
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 6: of gone through this rehead process together. Can you can

63
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 6: you speak to what you see or know of those

64
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 6: two you know their relationship.

65
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean two guys that are big leaders

66
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 7: in the linebacker room, the defensive side of the ball

67
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 7: and for our football team. They both play with great passion.

68
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 7: They both are great workers in the weight room, in

69
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 7: the meeting rooms, you name it. So uh not surprising

70
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 7: that they bond together over those type of things and

71
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 7: finding out the tough guys out here, aren't we There

72
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 7: goes Tom Withers.

73
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: Tom, so you wait them out.

74
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 13: In terms of Alex and Isaiah, those guys were really

75
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 13: kind of coming along some.

76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: Nice development and you know, again how unfortunate.

77
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 7: Just to Yeah, as you know, Mary Kay, injuries are

78
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 7: our least favorite part about this game.

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: Uh, those guys will both be back, but they're.

80
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 7: They're gonna have to deal with these injuries and uh

81
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 7: and we'll support them as they do.

82
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: What's Hearson's.

83
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: Injury or reason.

84
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: For Yeah, that's a medical condition. I can't really comment.

85
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: On them, Ken, And I know you've talked about James

86
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: Hudson a little bit.

87
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 10: A BP praised him last week, said he's.

88
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: Matured a lot, and you or whatever, how.

89
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 7: Have you guys seen a Yeah, James has done a

90
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 7: nice job.

91
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: You know, gives us good reps are right and left.

92
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: You know, you love the way.

93
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 7: He practices and plays former defensive players, so he plays

94
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 7: with an edge. But I thought he's really taken to

95
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 7: all the techniques that coach Peters and Push Callahan have

96
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 7: been working with him constantly. I think you see him

97
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 7: taking the technique from individual into the practice periods and

98
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 7: into the game.

99
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 12: You know, Jim wants to rotate a bunch of guys

100
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 12: across the D line, So with those two indis at

101
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 12: then I know you signed a guy Todable, do you

102
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 12: have enough bodies like you?

103
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 7: I mean you monitor every position, but feel comfortable with

104
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 7: the guys that we have.

105
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: We'd like to Brandon and yesterday and Jason to day.

106
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 10: And one of the things they like is with different

107
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 10: body types in both of those rooms, the cornerback room

108
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 10: and the linebacker. And how important is it to have

109
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 10: guys who look different, played different, Just all those different

110
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 10: types of guys.

111
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean they come in all shapes and sizes,

112
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 7: and I think you've seen certainly at the linebacker position,

113
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 7: at dB, at corner.

114
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 2: You know, there's guys that have won with great size

115
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: and length.

116
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 7: I think back to my days growing up with Bobby

117
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 7: Taylor at the Eagles. He was drafted to be a

118
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 7: Michael Irvin stopper, and then you had some smaller corners

119
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 7: that you know, I was around for Antoine Winfield, who

120
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 7: was as tough as they come. So, uh, there's a

121
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 7: variety of ways to win. So not surprised that our

122
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 7: coaches feel that way and I feel that same way too.

123
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 7: A linebacker, you can have some guys that are thumpers

124
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 7: that are big, then around some guys are considered stand

125
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 7: up nose guards and then you have guys that are

126
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 7: a little bit more sideline to sideline and can win

127
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 7: with speed and can win.

128
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: With power as well, Kevin.

129
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 8: One of the one on one matchups has been somewhat

130
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 8: entertaining to watch from the outside looking into has been

131
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 8: Denzel and Elijah Moore. Just you know, the back and

132
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 8: forth competition between them. How do you how do you

133
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 8: feel about that? And just how much better are they

134
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 8: making each other?

135
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, these guys are so competitive, and those

136
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 7: are two great players, and they knew that we always

137
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 7: do that with our one on ones. The last rapids

138
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 7: for pushups and and both both those guys wanted to go.

139
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 7: It wasn't gonna be those two guys, and then Elijah

140
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 7: and Denzel kind of demanded that they wanted one more.

141
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: Rep Uh, they're gonna they're gonna go.

142
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: Uh.

143
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 2: One guy's gonna win one day, the other guys can

144
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: win the next day. It's just what you get with

145
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: great players.

146
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 7: But I think there's a great message in there for

147
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 7: all of our players, our young guys in particular, where

148
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 7: iron sharpens iron, and you want to go good versus

149
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 7: good as often as you can because it's only gonna

150
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 7: make you better, Kevin, as far.

151
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 14: As you know, practicing kind of rain and on the

152
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 14: web of any concern whatsoever about a slippery track.

153
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 15: And what that.

154
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: That's football.

155
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 7: You know, you gotta you gotta get you gotta get

156
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 7: used to playing in the conditions.

157
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 5: Cool, I get it.

158
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: Are you crappy where you are right now?

159
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: I agree with you that. Yeah.

160
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 7: I think you're building your identity throughout training camp and

161
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 7: throughout the preseason.

162
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

163
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 7: I think for us we really focus on uh, our work,

164
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 7: we focus on today, and I think that builds into

165
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 7: our identity where we don't get too far ahead of ourselves,

166
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 7: but we want to make sure that we're keeping the

167
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 7: main thing, the main thing, and for us, that's practice today.

168
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: Cools the point that you got someone joins in after

169
00:06:59,600 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: the draft.

170
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 9: So what you saw from a Thursday, how far do

171
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 9: you feel like he's come in.

172
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: This time span?

173
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 7: Young player coming along, had some good moments, had some

174
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 7: moments that he needs to get better at. So I

175
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 7: just see a young player who's a work in progress

176
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 7: like all of our young players. But you know, nice

177
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 7: part about Dewan he works and you have to when

178
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 7: you're you.

179
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 2: Know, getting coached by coach Callahan.

180
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 7: And Coach Peters and coach the Costa and with the

181
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 7: offensive line that we have, you're gonna.

182
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: Work and he he's made sure that every day he

183
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: shows up here and he's putting in that work.

184
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: Coach Romans Argentay.

185
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 15: And coach are Has there been like a certain phrase

186
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 15: or catching saying or the model does what to get

187
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 15: you on in the oppertoon to kind of.

188
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: Add into that, not that I know of.

189
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 7: You know, those things do happen organically, but not that

190
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 7: nothing jumps.

191
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: Out to mine.

192
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 9: Have been asked about the offense kind of winning sometimes

193
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 9: having up and downs. How do you mentally help them

194
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 9: mentally balance a day where they're maybe up and then

195
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 9: the next day they're down.

196
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a process, isn't it.

197
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's that's football. You're gonna have a good

198
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: quarter followed by a tough quarter.

199
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 7: You're gonna throw an interception potentially, you know, you got

200
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 7: to bounce back. So, you know, one of the things

201
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 7: we talk a lot, We talk about a lot is resiliency.

202
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 7: And if you don't have that, you're not gonna make

203
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 7: it very long on football because you're just gonna you

204
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 7: face tough times week in and week out, sometimes by quarters,

205
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 7: sometimes it's every third game. You know the tough times

206
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 7: are coming. You really just have to have that mentality

207
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 7: that we're gonna bounce back.

208
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Next up, it's offensive line coach Bill Callahan. He talked

209
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: about what he saw from Dwan Jones in the Hall

210
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: of Fame game last Thursday and the development of the

211
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: young players in the room.

212
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: YEP, playing a good number of reps.

213
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 16: I thought it was It was positive in the fact

214
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 16: that you know they're getting game like reps so early

215
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 16: in the process, and of course you've got three more

216
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 16: games on top of that that's beneficial. And then of

217
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 16: course what I think is really good now is a

218
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 16: new rule that they've implemented where everybody's gonna stay for

219
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 16: the cutdown, so no one's getting eliminated until the final cutdown.

220
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 16: So I think it's great for these guys to get

221
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 16: all this ork so early on in the process.

222
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 8: Did you touch on the progress of the wine Jason Barber,

223
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 8: proger rookie Mini Camp looked like he really struggled to

224
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 8: I think prove football focus that he didn't allow the

225
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 8: pressure while playing all the snaps the other night.

226
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that, you know, for any rookie coming

227
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 16: in as an offensive lineman, it's going to be a process.

228
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 16: It's going to be a learning scenario, and they're going

229
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 16: to learn incrementally as they go along. I really thought

230
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 16: his past protection took some major steps. He still has

231
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 16: long ways to go yet. We're still working on the

232
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 16: run technique, aspects of his play to make him a

233
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 16: more complete player. But it was good to see him perform,

234
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 16: you know, under the lights against good competition, you know,

235
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 16: taking third down sets which are so critical to protection.

236
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of positives.

237
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 16: So we came away please you know again, you know,

238
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 16: as we look at it, just the broad picture, you know,

239
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 16: a broad broad brush looking at it, you say, God

240
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 16: is really good because he did you know, he stayed

241
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 16: in front, he got his man, you know, he finished off.

242
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 16: But there's so many little things that he can improve upon,

243
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 16: and self admittingly, you know.

244
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: He agrees with that.

245
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 16: He can see where he can improve his hands and

246
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 16: his feet and his body posture and obviously some of

247
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 16: his overall reactions encounters.

248
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 11: Are you unconcerned about his stamina after seeing him play.

249
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: Seventy four snars?

250
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 16: I think everybody's stamina and training camp can get better.

251
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 16: You know, yesterday we went through a no huddle you

252
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 16: know period where we really try to push our players

253
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 16: and try to tax them, you know, and take them

254
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 16: to the limit conditionally. And so I think they can

255
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 16: always get better, you know, especially with the temple things

256
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 16: that we're doing right now, trying to play at a

257
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 16: higher tempo, playing more on the ball.

258
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: I think that's.

259
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 16: Really positive and it requires a lot of stamina, you know,

260
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 16: especially when you get into the later portions.

261
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: Of the game.

262
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 12: But what have you seen out of James Hudson?

263
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 5: Is he heads a game.

264
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, been really pleased with his progress coming in the

265
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 16: training camp, especially in the offseason. He did really good

266
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 16: things from a technique perspective. He showed growth, he showed maturity.

267
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 16: I love his passion. So his temple has picked up,

268
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 16: his aggressiveness has picked up. I like his swing versatility

269
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 16: that he gives us. He's become a more a better

270
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 16: player because of his intelligence. He's smart, he can anticipate quicker.

271
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 16: His past sets have improved. But you know, again, like

272
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 16: you know, we're still going through training camp, so we're

273
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 16: excited about his progress. We just want to see that consistency,

274
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 16: you know, extend throughout you know, this period going into

275
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 16: the season seems is, Yeah, we really like him a lot.

276
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 16: You know, he's been banged up the last week, so

277
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 16: he was not able to get all the reps that

278
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 16: we wanted him to get in practice and in the game.

279
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 16: But we're looking forward to the next three weeks, you know,

280
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 16: or the next three games, that is, to see him

281
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 16: more earlier so that we can get a good evaluation

282
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 16: of him against good competition. But we've been pleased. You know,

283
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 16: here's a guy that my got. He was he was

284
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 16: a tight end a few years ago, and he's transitioned

285
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 16: not only from a skill position but into a power position.

286
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 16: He's added additional weight. I got he's up around three

287
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 16: hundred and thirty pounds now, so I think and we

288
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 16: feel that he's still grown into his body. He's still

289
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 16: making adjustments, making tweaks, but he's really athletic. He's shown

290
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 16: the ability to get on the edge, you know, and

291
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 16: pass protect against good speed rushers. And now it's just

292
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 16: a matter of it all together. You know, his run

293
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 16: technique is past technique or really excited about what he

294
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 16: brings in terms of swing value for us.

295
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 11: Do you feel it's at all a little little risky

296
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 11: if you went into the smizon. But on the Hudson

297
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 11: Jones as your backup tackles, a lot of veteran presence there.

298
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 16: I know, Hudson's in his thirty year now, but well

299
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 16: you got Tyrone Wheedley who's been with us as well.

300
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 16: So you know, hopefully we can take five into the

301
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 16: season with us. You know, I really and I know

302
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 16: Andrew feels this way as well, that you can never

303
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 16: have enough of those tackles, you know, because that's a commodity,

304
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 16: and the more you can develop them and train them,

305
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 16: it just adds to your depth. So we feel like

306
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 16: we've got really good depth, you know, and we're always

307
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 16: looking to add another another player to develop at that position.

308
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 16: But boy, tackles they come and go, you know, I mean,

309
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 16: they're they're the durability, you know, the pomping that they

310
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 16: go through. And of course, for the seventeen game season now,

311
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 16: the durability issue is really huge, you know, So you

312
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 16: may lose one or two for a period of time,

313
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 16: hopefully not too long. But those guys that come in,

314
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 16: you know, they got to step up and play immediately.

315
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 11: Thinking of about like a Humber, Yeah, six seven years

316
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 11: in the league.

317
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't see the need right now for that

318
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: type of player on I don't think so.

319
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 16: I think we have a young group of guys that

320
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 16: are have good experience, not great, but good enough where

321
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 16: you know they can come off and play. And of course,

322
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 16: when you have a young rookie player, when you draft

323
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 16: them in the fourth round, they're gonna play. You know,

324
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 16: whether you like it or not. In this day and age,

325
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 16: the young players are gonna play. There's no such thing

326
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 16: in my mind as a backup. I think I stated

327
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 16: that before. Those guys are gonna play, and they're gonna

328
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 16: play early, and whether you like it or not, if

329
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 16: they get drafted, they're gonna play. And so you know

330
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 16: they're gonna you know, Dewan may be in that situation,

331
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 16: you know, I hope hopefully not. I hope we keep

332
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 16: our guys healthy, but you never know. And then there's

333
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 16: also you know, those extended roles where they come in

334
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 16: as a as a substitute tight end. You know, it

335
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 16: gives a little more power on the edge. So that

336
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 16: goes into the thinking as well, so we can kind

337
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 16: of spoonfeed those young tackles into the play. Similarly, like

338
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 16: we did last year with James Hudson Michael Dunn where

339
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 16: they come in there and they play that why position

340
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 16: this is.

341
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: Such a gear for Jed Wills.

342
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 8: Just what have you seen from him get evolution or

343
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 8: develop may.

344
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 10: Going into ideas.

345
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 16: With your Yeah, I think he's really progressed. There were

346
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 16: you know, we came out of last year's film evaluation,

347
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 16: the scheme eval from off season, and we saw a

348
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 16: lot of positive things in his play. We saw steps,

349
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 16: you know. Now we wanted to be more physical. We

350
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 16: want it to be uh more I would say, more

351
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 16: consistent in terms of the finish, and we like to

352
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 16: see that finish become more more violent, you know, more physical.

353
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 16: I think we're pushing that. We've had long conversations about that.

354
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

355
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 16: And you know Jet he's a great kid, you know,

356
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 16: and he takes constructive criticism well. He takes challenge as well.

357
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 16: So he's up for it. You know, he wants to

358
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 16: get better. He's shown that in the off season. He's

359
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 16: shown that in training camp. Uh, he's becoming a more

360
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 16: consistent past protector. We've added some things so his repertoire

361
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 16: in terms of technique. So we're really hopeful and I

362
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 16: know that he's really challenged, you know, to get better

363
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 16: and improved because you know there's some big things out

364
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 16: there ahead.

365
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: Of him at this point in your career.

366
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: Out we're wanting.

367
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 10: To see how young guys, whether it's the want jet.

368
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 16: Take that extra step and take that coaching the hard Yeah,

369
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 16: it's really yeah, you know, that's what we do it for,

370
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 16: you know, to help these guys. So when you see

371
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 16: players emerge and improve, you know, it's gratifying as a coach,

372
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 16: but I'm really thrilled for them, you know, as a player,

373
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 16: you know. I mean that's that's what we're here for,

374
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 16: is to help.

375
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: Them and the players.

376
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 16: You know, when when when you can show them things

377
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 16: that can improve their game, you know, you just develop

378
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 16: a trust between each other and that just kind of permeates,

379
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 16: you know, forward into the future and so when you

380
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 16: know things come up, they lean on you. So it's

381
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 16: always kind of a solution based situation we're in.

382
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: But it's it's really cool.

383
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, when you have like a standard like Joel in

384
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 16: the front, Oh, immensely yeah. I mean I think the

385
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 16: world of Joel and the consummate pro but everything he

386
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 16: does from a technique perspective is so precise. You know,

387
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 16: there's such precision in his game. You know, at times

388
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 16: it's flawless, the way he can move his feet, the

389
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 16: way he can position himself on a on a defender,

390
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 16: not only in the run game out on the perimeter,

391
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 16: but then again as pro which is so important. You know,

392
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 16: he's always in the right position. You know we call

393
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 16: positional leverage. He always has that. And then you add

394
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 16: that element of physicality to it. You know, you've got

395
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 16: a really good player.

396
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 11: You're going to run the ball a lot more on

397
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 11: the shotgun this year. It's obvious in the crystal. How

398
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 11: does that affect that the line? Is that a big transition?

399
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 11: How's that going?

400
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

401
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 16: I don't think it changes relative to what's being asked

402
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 16: to them up front. You know, it's the same the

403
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 16: same standard of technique that we're using when we're in

404
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 16: the eye, and we will still be in the eye,

405
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 16: and we are evolving the more gun run situations and pistols.

406
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 16: But that doesn't affect you know, any of the techniques

407
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 16: don't change just because we're in the gun or we're

408
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 16: in the pistol. Effect, well, it just alters his course

409
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 16: of action, and of course the reads come a little

410
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 16: bit different because you're in the gun. You know, you

411
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 16: don't have the depth or the vision to see it,

412
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 16: you know, when you're at depth, But when you're in

413
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 16: the offset positions you can you know, you really have

414
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 16: to have good vision because you're coming across the ball,

415
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 16: you know, so it's a little bit different. You know,

416
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 16: the vision gets skewed a little bit, you know, sort

417
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 16: of speak.

418
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 13: What you want from all the conditions.

419
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 8: The maturity, you know, yeah, how has he.

420
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 13: Get frustrated with the greenbrier? How's he come along with

421
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 13: your AI?

422
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 16: Yeah, he's getting better, you know, he's he's maturing. It's

423
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 16: it's small steps, and uh, I think he realizes that,

424
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 16: you know, he gets a little frustrated with some of

425
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 16: the things that.

426
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: He's not able to do yet.

427
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 16: But you know, we just keep preaching patience with him

428
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 16: and you know, buy in and look, everybody goes through it,

429
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 16: you know, so he's not the first one, you.

430
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 3: Know, to come into this.

431
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 16: So everybody's been affected when they're young, you know, and

432
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 16: all of a sudden you're prejudized to go stand up

433
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 16: and make plays and you know, and make make the

434
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 16: right adjustments and perform with the right techniques and if

435
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 16: it and if you don't do it, what happens You

436
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 16: get a little frustrated. So they see like a Joe

437
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 16: Patonio or they see why Teller or Posting. He watches

438
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 16: those guys as well as Jack Conklin, and it's seamless

439
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 16: those guys. But those guys have had over ten thousand reps.

440
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 16: So it's it's a lot easier. So when you come in,

441
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 16: it's it's it's new, it's different, it's frustrating, and you

442
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 16: just have to work through those frustration levels, okay, to

443
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 16: get players where they need to be.

444
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: Another transition is how Watson big seventeen.

445
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, the spacing he needs, How is that going?

446
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: How's the line learning their core?

447
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 16: I think it's been great, you know. I we've really

448
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 16: studied Deshan. He's a little bit deeper in the pocket,

449
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 16: you know, he's taller and deeper in the pocket than

450
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 16: what we've had in the past, and we've we've always

451
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 16: adjusted to the depth of the quarterback. So we've arranged

452
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 16: the past sets and constructed them as such where you know,

453
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 16: we're still you know, we're still aggressive, we're still proactive,

454
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 16: but we've modified some things to take you know, to

455
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 16: at here to where he's at and what he's doing

456
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 16: because he's an escape artist, you know. I mean, we

457
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 16: can do some things to expand the pocket and let

458
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 16: him push up and pull out if he needs to.

459
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 16: So I think trying to create those lanes and protection

460
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 16: is really important for a mobile cord.

461
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 3: Back at the back of their head, they learn.

462
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 16: It's feel and it's angles, you know, So all those

463
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 16: linemen up front have different angle sets to what they do,

464
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 16: so you know the situation that down in distance dictates that.

465
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 16: So whether it's pocket expansion or if we constrict the pocket,

466
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 16: that all changes by down in distance. So I don't

467
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 16: know if that makes sense, but we that's abouts simple

468
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 16: as I can explain it. So we try to really

469
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 16: just alter, you know, the different sets of the players,

470
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 16: you know, to compliment what we're doing in the passing

471
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 16: game and compliment where the launch point.

472
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: Is for the quarterback. I think that's really important.

473
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 11: If he's making trying to make it plays back there,

474
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 11: it just got to get used to that, right, Oh yeah,

475
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 11: he's going back and forward back.

476
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 16: Yeah, there's a lot of I think we've we've seen

477
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 16: a lot of mobile quarterbacks across the NFL, and you

478
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 16: see guys that that are escape artists that can that

479
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 16: can elude the rush. And my experience with the Shawn

480
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 16: in the in the in last season watching him move

481
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 16: you know, if if the Reds, you know, if he's

482
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 16: read out and he needs to move on in terms

483
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 16: of you know, making a play, pushing the pocket and escaping.

484
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 16: He's shown that he's strong in the pocket, and I

485
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 16: think we've built enough lanes within our set angles to

486
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 16: allow him to escape in the pocket. So you know,

487
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 16: we're we're in tune to it, trust me absolutely. I

488
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 16: hope that answers your question.

489
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, thank you.

490
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: Jason Tarvar talked to the media next. Our good friend

491
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: and linebacker coach, talked about the importance of Anthony Walker's

492
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: leadership and how the Browns are flexible on defense.

493
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 10: So I guess, how are the how is the linebacker

494
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 10: position different in the scheme than maybe you guys did

495
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 10: last year or.

496
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: Helping us talk.

497
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 17: It's it's very similar in how we line up, but

498
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 17: our aggressiveness has increased. We can we can get downhill

499
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 17: in certain situations and help take blocks off the d line.

500
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 4: So in our scheme, our D line's job.

501
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 17: Is to mess stuff up and attack it and hard

502
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 17: jobs to fix it.

503
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: So that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna be off

504
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 4: the ball, We're gonna be fixing a lot of things.

505
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 4: And then when we get our chance to blitz. In

506
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 4: this system, it's it's pretty awesome.

507
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 17: We got to go as fast as the D line,

508
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 17: and so we do a lot of things with the

509
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 17: D line like competiency, who can take off on the

510
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 17: ball the fastest, And we'll do some of those today

511
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 17: in practice.

512
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 4: Actually, and when you look at.

513
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 10: The guys you have, you know, obviously no talk, he

514
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 10: hasn't gotten out there atonement, so some of that same

515
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 10: with a WoT j okay. All those guys how they

516
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 10: kind of fit in that almost like just go attack.

517
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 4: And what's what's great about it is the positions.

518
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 17: We're most of our guys are learning every position, so

519
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 17: the position flexibility is great. So they'll all get a

520
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 17: chance to blitz and drop and do things. So they

521
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 17: all fit well. And what's is they all have slightly

522
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 17: different skill sets and they know it and they it

523
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 17: allows us as coaches to use them for what they

524
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 17: do best and so you'll see rotations and linebackers by

525
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 17: situations this year.

526
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 4: Knock on, will we stay healthy this year?

527
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 17: But it allows us to use their strengths to help

528
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 17: us make plays.

529
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, we were taking a branding yesterday about the cornerbacks

530
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 10: and it's kind of the same thing, right, Like those

531
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 10: guys's roles might change week to week. Is that sort

532
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 10: of how it might.

533
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 5: Be with your guys.

534
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 17: Yeah, If certain guys are covering better, we can use

535
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 17: them in situations. If certain guys are blitzing better, we

536
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 17: can use them in situations. So you're gonna see a

537
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 17: rotation anyway, because we want to rotate our linebackers so

538
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 17: they're fresh and will allow them to play the spots

539
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 17: that do what they do best and give us matchups

540
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 17: from week to.

541
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 4: Week if we need that with that rotation.

542
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 9: How important is it that you guys have been focusing

543
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 9: on maybe cleaning up or simplifying the communication at a linebacker?

544
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 9: Seems like that position that it means the most, right,

545
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 9: So I mean, how does that affect when you have.

546
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 5: That rotation of guys.

547
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 17: Yeah, we have to answer that. We have two roles

548
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 17: on our defense. One is the nerve center, Like you said, right.

549
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 17: The nerve center of brain makes quick communications. The linebackers

550
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 17: and the safeties working together to tell everybody else what

551
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 17: to do.

552
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 4: So they can go fast.

553
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 5: Right.

554
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 17: The corners in the D line and D linemen have

555
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 17: people six inches in front of their faces, and they

556
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 17: need direct things so that they can attack people. And

557
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 17: what coach Schwartz does is he simplifies the scheme so

558
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 17: that we can play fast. So it's our job to

559
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 17: keep it simple and do that. It's like times tables

560
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 17: versus really hard equations. Right, I studied hard equations in college.

561
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: We don't need that.

562
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 4: We need to know two tounch four equals. They didn't

563
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 4: go all right? I got that right, right, knock kidding.

564
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 17: And then the second thing is to control because of

565
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 17: the D line attacking and who's ever rushing it could

566
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 17: be us for the dbs, who's ever rushing, We need

567
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 17: to have our eyes in the right places to make

568
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 17: that right. So when you play this style, they need

569
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 17: to go knock things around and make plays. There's good

570
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 17: some good examples yesterday and practice, and we need to

571
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 17: be in position to make them right. Physical and then

572
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 17: getting the calls out the note center, how.

573
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: The guys respond to that.

574
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 9: I mean, is this something they're excited about or they

575
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 9: is this maybe a step of a learning pard for them.

576
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 17: Well, anytime you learn things, you get it and you

577
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 17: know the words, but then.

578
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 4: You got to go put it to effect.

579
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 17: So then a way it goes down and then you

580
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 17: keep wavering and then you master it. So we're coming up.

581
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 17: One of our goals for Greenbrier was to own the scheme.

582
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 17: We're coming back out of that. We're getting close. They

583
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 17: like it because they all get a chance to do

584
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 17: things and it's quick communication. So the guys are real

585
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 17: excited about that part.

586
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 14: Coach uh Jai Okase plays a bad and visibly he

587
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 14: had numbus teaches last season.

588
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: He's made like a little changes.

589
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 15: You know, it's clean season and the member everything.

590
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 8: How have you feel, as.

591
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 14: Maya say, has really been differently in the tranizations going

592
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 14: into this years.

593
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 17: And I think Jeremiah it most recently the past few

594
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 17: days has done a really nice job of letting him

595
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 17: stay in the moment. His strength is his feel for movement.

596
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 17: You guys have heard everybody's heard this from me and

597
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 17: coaches before. His feel for how things move and where

598
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 17: the ball is elite and he can make really quick decisions.

599
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 17: But sometimes if he's making the complex, if he's making

600
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 17: things complex when they should just be simple seatball, get ball, it'll.

601
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 4: Slow him down sometimes because he takes in so much information.

602
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 17: His last three days he's really allowed himself to do that,

603
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 17: so we see him progressing.

604
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 4: He needs to stay in that.

605
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 17: As for his body, he's become more of a pro

606
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 17: so far through camp because you heard it from me

607
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 17: at the end of last season. He need to get strong, right,

608
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 17: need to get strong because the stronger he is, the

609
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 17: more plays he can play right.

610
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: And the more consistent he'll be.

611
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 17: He has been productive in his snaps throughout his career,

612
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 17: but as he continues to keep his strength playing and

613
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 17: let himself play in the moment, that's the progression we

614
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 17: need to see.

615
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 4: Again. Last three days he starting to come up.

616
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: He's had some what we call.

617
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 17: Teach reps that are perfect execution of reps, either taking

618
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 17: the quarterback off of Froze or making plays. I mean

619
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 17: he had four yesterday that are like do this every time, man,

620
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 17: this is perfect.

621
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 10: Means we saw he's gotten one hand wrapped up pretty

622
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 10: good because he just kind of quite rules.

623
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 8: Of an injury.

624
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know coach Savanski talks about injuries, but uh,

625
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 17: he is doing well with whatever is bothering him. And

626
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 17: you know he's with all young players. You got to

627
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 17: work through bumps, bruises, things that are hurt to play

628
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 17: this game because that's what happens. Different things are gonna

629
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 17: you know, you've got to play through different things. And

630
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 17: and he's doing that right now.

631
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 10: So that's good with Anthony, you know, bringing him back

632
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 10: after he lost just last year. Amportancy to that for

633
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 10: the leadership.

634
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 4: Everything he brings, Yeah, everything he does, Anthony is he

635
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 4: is locked in. He loves football.

636
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 17: He's all about football and he approaches it a lot

637
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 17: like coaches where he wants to know the rules and why.

638
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 4: And he's really good like.

639
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 17: With some of our younger players throughout camp and the

640
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 17: Browns Internal TV has done some things on it. But

641
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 17: even yesterday, he's the two rookies are in and before

642
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 17: I can get to him, a walk's got him and

643
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 17: he's coaching him on the right way to do things.

644
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 4: So it's really cool, you know, So his his.

645
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 17: Role of helping and he's so unselfish that it really

646
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 17: helps not only as a team, but now he's starting

647
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 17: to get some reps, so it's cool to see him

648
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 17: back out there and.

649
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 4: Doing it right, so everybody else can finum doing it right.

650
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 9: You mentioned Jeremiah's skill set, and then you also mentioned

651
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 9: what Jim Schwartz does with the D line and how

652
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 9: linebackers are going to have a job of cleaning things up.

653
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 9: How much does that weigh in having the ability to

654
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 9: just have that instinct of reading guys knowing where to go.

655
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 9: How much will that actually play into Jim Schwartz's defense.

656
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 4: In this scheme making Yeah, not just Jeremiah, but all

657
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 4: of them.

658
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 17: Like you said, our job is to keep it simple

659
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 17: enough so when something moves and the D line makes

660
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 17: somebody move somewhere to be able to move to the right.

661
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 4: Spot and fix it.

662
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 17: And of course that is one of Jeremiah's strengths, so

663
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 17: as long as his mind is clear and again we

664
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 17: keep it simple, we don't need to make things harder

665
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 17: than they are and go play fast.

666
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 4: That's that's why he's here, that's why we're here. So

667
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 4: that part's exciting a lot.

668
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 18: Of Jeremiah's size, obviously, you just commented on him with

669
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 18: tight ends being such a big factor in the passing

670
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 18: game in the NFL today because there's science to getting

671
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 18: Jeremiah in the right body frame so he can kind

672
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 18: of cover those you know, faster, wicker tight ends, but

673
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 18: also you know kind of keep someone like Lamar jackt

674
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 18: and from you know, beating him with his legs.

675
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, So what how Jeremiah's built is you know,

676
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 17: he has length for his body, and he's quick, he

677
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 17: has a great ability to keep his feet apart, and

678
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 17: he's played in space throughout Like I don't know if

679
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 17: you've seen his.

680
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: Basketball highlights, it's pretty good.

681
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 17: But he's played in space and he has his ability

682
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 17: to keep his feet apart, and he has enough length

683
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 17: and height in his body to play the bigger framed

684
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 17: guys as well as being able to match backside of

685
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 17: the backfield. So some of that in certain type of

686
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 17: our match coverages, whether it's man or match zones.

687
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 4: I mean, that can be.

688
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 17: Really good for this young man. So that's why we

689
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 17: got to keep them, keep it simple and keep him

690
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 17: cumping it. And he's he's very confident in those things,

691
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 17: and that's good.

692
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: We need him to do that.

693
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 10: When we talk about matchups and you guys playing different rules,

694
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 10: how important is there? I mean, you guys have so

695
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 10: many different body types in there.

696
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: I mean how important is that?

697
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 12: How valuable is ever view and in the gym to

698
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 12: just have guys that look different, play different all of

699
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 12: that stuff.

700
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think what's really cool about where we are

701
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 17: right now and we need to keep going is the

702
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 17: different body types and all the position groups on defense, because.

703
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 4: Now it gives you its change ups.

704
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 5: Right.

705
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 17: It's uh, you know, you can't throw the same pitch

706
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 17: all the time, right, even those that throw over one

707
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 17: hundred miles per hour know that, right, even class. So

708
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 17: what what it allows us to do is match by

709
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 17: situations or whatever. So say you know you got power rushers,

710
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 17: you've got power backers, they run a run down hill.

711
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 17: We'll put those guys in there, and then every once

712
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 17: in a while the next guy might go and slip

713
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 17: a block and make a play. So in all three

714
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 17: of the defensive position groups right now, we we like

715
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 17: our flexibility and we like.

716
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 4: Both the mentality and what our guys bring.

717
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 17: And what's cool, like we said about the scheme, is

718
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 17: use our guys use the scheme so that we can

719
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 17: maximize each player's ability to be their best.

720
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: The coach is wrapped up, it was time for the

721
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: players to speak up. First, linebacker Taki. He talks about

722
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: rehabbing his a c L injury and where he thinks

723
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: he fits into the Jim Schwartz defense.

724
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 3: All Right, how you guys doing I'm doing good, doing good? Yeah,

725
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 3: what's he about.

726
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 17: For your week?

727
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 11: Can you target for you to get back and team drills?

728
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: And is it reachable or what what's your time tips?

729
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 14: It's reachable, but we're just, uh, you know, we're taking

730
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 14: the day by day just as a staff and just

731
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 14: just filling it out as the weeks go on.

732
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 3: You're still confident you'll be playing in September.

733
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm really I'm really confident. Yeah, because that's the

734
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 14: aiming day. But what we'll see when we'll get closer.

735
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 15: Backs a day.

736
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 13: You know we've been eight twenty years ago or if

737
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 13: you tour an ECO, it was you know, catastrophic, but

738
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 13: it just seems come so far, right, Yeah, Like what

739
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 13: kinds of things do you do to make you speed up.

740
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 14: And you'll get everything to get Yeah, the in the

741
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 14: surgery now, like you said, it's it's it's much better.

742
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 3: It's a lot of upgrades, you know, better.

743
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 14: Surgeons and you know, the medicine too that they have nowadays,

744
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 14: and the workouts and stuff to to help guys or

745
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 14: come back is has uh definitely skyrockets.

746
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: And now it's still a very hard injury to come

747
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: back from.

748
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 14: But if you do the right things, you could definitely

749
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 14: come back, you know, and and in better shape and

750
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 14: uh and be strong.

751
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 3: So pretty confident in it.

752
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 10: And what do they tell you how that they say

753
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 10: nine months and.

754
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 14: The short Yeah yeah, yeah, I know when the first

755
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 14: game comes around, it'll be like what nine months and

756
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 14: what a week? You know, so it's that nine to

757
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 14: twelve month window. So I feel like we're we're gonna

758
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 14: be just fine. Uh, we'll just see how you know,

759
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 14: plays out as we get closer.

760
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 6: See you what I mean, you need walking stor have

761
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 6: been working at working together and you guys have gotten

762
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 6: your recovery.

763
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: You know, how much is that kind of tightened the bond?

764
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 6: Because Anthony was talking back in what you didn't you

765
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 6: mentioned early on and maybe you know the relationship wasn't

766
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 6: you know, there's.

767
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: A lot of you know, in room competitiveness and every

768
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 3: ti how much has that grown? Yeah?

769
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, you know you got a lot of competitive

770
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 14: guys and uh, a lot of alphas in the room,

771
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 14: and you know what I mean. So we would get

772
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 14: into it a little bit before. But I feel like,

773
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 14: you know, both being injured definitely bonded that relationship.

774
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: We were able to grow.

775
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 14: I was able to learn about him, he was able

776
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 14: to learn about me, and we was working out together,

Speaker 3: the linebacker room d line to all the guys that

810
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,520

815
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 14: the back seven, and then we got good guys that

817
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: Is it drastically different or does it? I mean, in

823
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 14: you know, I learned the other system where you know,

824
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 14: you gotta be a little bit more patient, put a

825
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 14: lot more on the linebackers. But you know, I definitely

826
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 14: like this style, man, where you know they're gonna unhandcuff

827
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 14: us and we're gonna just fly around.

835
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 14: a very patient guy, you know what I mean, I'm

836
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,040

856
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 15: the most competitive fan so far.

857
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 5: It's really good for us.

858
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 15: You know, it shows you who you are during you know,

859
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 15: moments of stress or being uncomfortable.

860
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 5: You know, how do you perform? It's good. Yeah, I

861
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,879

00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 5: off that a lot.

863
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 11: Uh.

864
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 5: I'd rather that than quiet, you know.

865
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, the other guys kind of responding to it too.

866
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, of course, I mean it goes, it

867
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 15: goes back and forth. But that's the beauty of competition.

868
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 15: And I mean, uh, if if the defense makes a play,

869
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 15: they're gonna be all raw raw, and then you know,

870
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 15: we we we watch that, we see the hype over there,

871
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 15: then we wanna you know, take it to them.

872
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 5: So you know, it's it's it's a good competition.

873
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: How much talking do they do out there?

874
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 8: You're such a big target, such a physical target, you know,

875
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 8: and they if they're able to break up a pass

876
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 8: on or whatever.

877
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 3: Just how much chirping do they get?

878
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: A lot?

879
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 15: But that's welcome, you know, especially especially during these you know,

880
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 15: dog music camp.

881
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. You want to make it fun,

882
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 5: so that makes it a lot of fun.

883
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 19: Dave, we've talked to if you're the defensive coaches, I've

884
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 19: talked about versatility into the cornerback room, in the line

885
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 19: back room, and that's something that affects you, right because

886
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 19: you guys can cover you if.

887
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 3: You notice some of that versatility and the sort of

888
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 3: what this defense can.

889
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 5: Absolutely you have.

890
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 15: I mean, I don't wanna give things away, but uh,

891
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 15: I'm I'm very impressed with the utility having.

892
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 3: To get fun.

893
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 8: There's the way Elijah Moore has really been incorporated into

894
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 8: this offense and a variety of places they're minding him up.

895
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 5: What type of effect.

896
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 8: Does he have on you as far as opening things

897
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 8: up for you?

898
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 15: That's a good question. I feel like we're gonna we're

899
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 15: we're still learning that, you know what I mean. You

900
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 15: Elijah is exceptional. You know what I mean he's he

901
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 15: and and he's he's he plays very passionately. You know,

902
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 15: he worried his his emotions on its leaves, you know.

903
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 15: So yeah, I just I just love seeing him compete.

904
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 15: And I think you guys saw the one on one

00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 9: you isn't it?

911
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 3: I mean, is there an area of your game you

912
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 3: want to see shine a little more this year's?

913
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:05,879

00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 15: Everything, Man, I'm not. I'm far from perfect, you know.

Speaker 15: to perform, to to excel in w in every aspect.

918
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 18: When we mentioned the time tight hands in the league

919
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 18: or the media mentions a week and we've mentioned Kelsey market.

920
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 3: With a full year with the Shawn Watson and what

921
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 3: do you think.

922
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 5: That you can solidify yourself.

923
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 3: As being in that top three?

924
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:40,400

925
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: What is it about?

926
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 9: A life or it maybe opens things up for you,

927
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 9: you know, talk about the opening up the offense, but

928
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 9: for you.

929
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: Specifically what people do for you.

930
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it really depends on like, you know,

931
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 5: like how we perform.

932
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 15: You know, the first PRECC game that we're all playing in,

933
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 15: you know, like that that that really shows you know

934
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 15: what I mean. We we and practice all day, but

935
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 15: like when the bots are really flying, you.

936
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 5: Know, then you really know how how things prob about.

937
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 5: So you guys are absolutely when you're talking about.

938
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 8: You're always warming, always learning, always trying to expand it

939
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 8: to a box here, What are maybe one or two

940
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 8: things that you came into this camp intent on elevating

941
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 8: and how do you feel about the progress you have

942
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 8: made with those areas? In those goals to email?

943
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 15: I think I think we're out running or something that

944
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 15: I really wanted to better myself with. You know, you

945
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 15: know this game is a game of inches, So just

946
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 15: being you know, slightly open to me, you know, it's

947
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 15: not going to cut it anymore.

948
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 5: I want to really like to the next step engine

949
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 5: to work on.

950
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 3: The right running.

951
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 8: DeShawn has shown that he has the ability to just

952
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 8: put it right on a dime.

953
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 5: To SPEs out and and.

954
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 8: He has that expectation trust that whether it's you a

955
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 8: Mario Elijah, wherever, you guys are going to be there speaking.

956
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 8: I guess that not so much challenge, but just the

957
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 8: the attention to detail that that puts on you as

958
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 8: a player to know that you got to be where

959
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 8: it's going to where he's going to put it, and

960
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 8: also the confidence that you know that the ball is

961
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 8: going to be where it's supposed to be.

962
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

963
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 15: I think that just falls on chemistry. You know, something

964
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 15: that we've been working on a lot, especially with offseason,

965
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 15: with chemistry. So just knowing what each of us are thinking,

966
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 15: you know, at that exact second, at that exact instinct,

967
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 15: you know, it helps a lot.

968
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 5: It go goes a long way.

969
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,479
Speaker 8: The trips to Puerto Rico in Miami where you guys

970
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 8: did kind of work on the chemistry, I guess what

971
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 8: were you guys able to do. I mean, obviously the

972
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 8: bonding and hanging out and stuff like that, but from

973
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 8: a football standpoint, what is it that you were really

974
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 8: able to accomplish with Am in those two trips When

975
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 8: you talk about.

976
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 15: That chemistry factor, I mean, we uh, definitely the work

977
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 15: you know, I feel like we have a better understanding

978
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 15: of how we think, you know, how each of us thinks,

979
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 15: you know when it comes to like tight ends, quarterbacks,

980
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 15: tight ends, receivers, receivers, quarterbacks, like we know, we know

981
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 15: what each other like, we're thinking together, you know, I

982
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:23,640
