00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: of Fame on Saturday, and you as a coach's assistance,

17
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: what can you tell me about Darrell?

18
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: You know, when he was dead with you? Yeah, you know,

19
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: he came in there, you know, whatever year that that was.

20
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: But you know, I learned a lot from him in

21
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: terms of preparation, practice, habits, and.

22
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: Just kind of his study of the game.

23
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 4: How he thinks that I've been very fortunate to be

24
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: around a bunch of good players, but specifically just kind

25
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 4: of more recently, with him and uh.

26
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: And Steph Gilmore.

27
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: You know, being able to see those two guys, they're

28
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: obviously amazing players, but their approaches to the game and uh,

29
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 4: you know, just how they operate on a day to

30
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: day basis, taking care of their bodies and stuff like that.

31
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: I was very fortunate to be around those guys. But yeah, absolutely,

32
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: congratulations to him and big moment.

33
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: Thanks Steve.

34
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: Going Nicole, followed by Andrew go Ahead and Nicole.

35
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Steve, I'm just curious for your initial impressions of Marte Mapu.

36
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: It seems like he's a really versatile player, and the

37
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: players have been really raving about how the multiple ways

38
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: you can use him.

39
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

40
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's been really good working with Marte

41
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: going back to the spring. He's a very curious, curious kid,

42
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: asks a lot of good questions. But I wouldn't say

43
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: he's like a real like overthinker out there on the field.

44
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: So he's able to you know, absorb the information and

45
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: take the coaching points, but not not worry too much

46
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 4: about just you know, two fine details when he's out

47
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: there on the field. He wants to know him in

48
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: the media room, but when we get out on the field,

49
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: He's able to play fast, play with good instincts and

50
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: not over complicated in his head, which sometimes happens with

51
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: young guys in the new system and.

52
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: Stuff like that.

53
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 4: So it's been great to work with him and excited

54
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: to see what what happens for going forward.

55
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 5: Right, Andrew, go ahead, Hey, Steve, it's good to see man.

56
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 5: I wanted to start with a little brother her who's

57
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 5: reporting is laid up with the knee injury. How's how's

58
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 5: Brian hanging in there?

59
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: I appreciate you asking that. Yeah, you know, he's doing

60
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: all right and he's hanging in there.

61
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: So uh.

62
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: As an older brother, I tried to toughen him up

63
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: as we grew up, so hopefully hopefully that'll pay off

64
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: for him. But no, he's doing good and he'll be

65
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: all right.

66
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 5: Well, pup, we're not like season long, I r like

67
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 5: the old days?

68
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: Are we No?

69
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: No, we're I've built him tougher than that, so he'll

70
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 4: be he'll be back good.

71
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: You know.

72
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 5: Obviously we're looking at everything at training camp and trying

73
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 5: to put it into perspective. A guy like Kyle Duggar

74
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 5: history interceptions. So far, I'm not blowing up that number,

75
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 5: but do you see a difference to Kyle maybe from

76
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 5: a playmaking standpoint going into year four.

77
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: Here, Yeah, you know, Doug's done a really good job.

78
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 4: All all the same there's have done a good job,

79
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 4: and when we start with that, but in terms of

80
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: kind of filling the void with the loss of Devi,

81
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: and they've all stepped up in terms of their communication.

82
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 4: I just think for Doug, you know, the games just

83
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: keeps slowing down for him. He keeps looking more and

84
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 4: more comfortable. He knows, knows what he's doing, knows what

85
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: other people are doing, can do a lot of different things,

86
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: has a great athletic skill set, but his just general

87
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: understanding and going into his fourth year in the NFL,

88
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 4: it's I think it's just found out for him.

89
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 5: Gotcha, Aaron, I don't see any other handraings to mine.

90
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 5: If I go with a couple one, you can go ahead. Andrew, Well,

91
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 5: obviously we spoke with Matt Judea on the other day.

92
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: You know about his plan. He says, you know, it's

93
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 5: kind of playing the long game. Basically. Are you a

94
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 5: part of those conversations with him when it kind of

95
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 5: determines his participation level in practice? No, that's not up

96
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 5: to me, not up to you at all. Okay, so

97
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: how does he kind of stay engaged because we see

98
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 5: him as a high energy guy, but it's harder to

99
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 5: see that, you know, d to day when he's mostly

100
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 5: down on the lower conditioning field.

101
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

102
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no drop off from his energy or anything

103
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: like that, you know for us, Like we're here here

104
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: all day, so I know the sample size you guys

105
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: see is different, different than you know what I see.

106
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 4: So he's been great. Yeah, he's he's you don't no

107
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: no issues there.

108
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: Good stuff.

109
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 5: Last one for me, I want to ask about the

110
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: impact Johann and his staff or how he might they

111
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: might help you with all this sport science aspect, either

112
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 5: just kind of your your day to day job or

113
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: maybe you know, if you guys are preparing each day

114
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 5: for training camp, what their work does.

115
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: For you as a coach.

116
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, those guys, you know, Johann and Moses, all

117
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: those guys do a great job. Doroan Brian, They all

118
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 4: do a great job of you know, giving us information,

119
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: uh that they that they get that Really up until

120
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: the last few years, I had no idea you know

121
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 4: what this what this even was, you know, the tracking systems,

122
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 4: the speeds, the yardages and stuff like that. So that's

123
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: obviously something new for me that you know, when I

124
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: started and that that stuff really wasn't around. But now

125
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: I learned a lot from them and trying to be

126
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 4: prevent things from happening based on who the player is

127
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: and the the numbers and the information that we get

128
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: from those guys.

129
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: So, yeah, they're really good. We talked to them, I

130
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: talked to them all the time.

131
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: And yeah, they're a great, great resource for us and

132
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: help us out a lot.

133
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 5: Is that what it's mostly about? Like, I'm sure all

134
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: the information's great to have, right, Like that's cool to

135
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 5: know X, y and z things about your players, But

136
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 5: then how do you put that into practice into action?

137
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: You know? Best?

138
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: I think it's just like a team effort to join

139
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: an effort, like you know, we watched those guys, and

140
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: as coaches, we watch those guys and see, yeah, he

141
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: he looks like he's sore, he looks like this, and

142
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: then kind of go and ask those guys like do

143
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: you guys see the same thing?

144
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: You know?

145
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: And then talking to Moses Deron and Brian in the

146
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: about the weight room, like is their strength down or

147
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: something like that. So I think between the coaches and

148
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: all those guys were able to try and you know,

149
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: put the puzzle together in terms of what may be

150
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: going on or or.

151
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: Something like that. So it's definitely a collective effort.

152
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: And there's there's a lot of pieces going on, and

153
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: I don't know much about the stuff that that they do,

154
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: and and they're really good at if you could get

155
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 4: through the Australian accent that you anize, if you can

156
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 4: kind of navigate that, then uh, yeah, I think we.

157
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: Work really well together.

158
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: I'm just glad Steph was not moderating this room and

159
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 5: there stayed after that comment, you know ISRALI.

160
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 4: Think, yeah, we're Americans here and they just talk a

161
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: little different.

162
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: We're really in Boston. They talk different things. You know, Hey, thanks,

163
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: we have u.

164
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: Two final questions from Mike resent then from John go ahead, Mike.

165
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: Hey, Steve, how are you doing doing great? Are you Mike? Good? Stuff?

166
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: Really good?

167
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 6: The tackling yesterday, yeah, sort of caught my eye just

168
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 6: because you know, obviously a balance with how much you

169
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 6: want to do on that. How new is that to

170
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 6: be tackling down to the ground this early in camp

171
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 6: and and sort of what's the thought with that.

172
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, especially on defense, like our

173
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: job is to tackle the ball carrier, and you know,

174
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 4: every year it feels like or ever a few years,

175
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 4: however you want to break it down, it seems like,

176
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: you know, the the amount of times you can be

177
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 4: in pads just keeps getting kind of less and less,

178
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 4: going all the way back to two days full padded

179
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: praxes on the same day. So you know, we gotta

180
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 4: we gotta work on the fundamentals. We gotta work on

181
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: those techniques. And yeah, I think I think it's important.

182
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 4: You know, you can't take out insurance on you know,

183
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 4: health and stuff like that.

184
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: You gotta see see if they can do it. So yeah,

185
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 3: it's good.

186
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: We'll take out one final question from John. I'm not

187
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: sure if you your hand went down, you still need

188
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: to have a question, John, I do.

189
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 7: Thanks Aaron, Hey, Steve, good.

190
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: To see you. Good to see you as well.

191
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 7: Hey, just a quick question, you know, in terms of

192
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 7: your install obviously you guys are in more than a

193
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 7: week now, just some thoughts on that or you guys

194
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 7: pretty happy with where you're at in terms of where

195
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 7: you're doing defensively right now.

196
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that there's you know, a lot of

197
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 4: carryover from from the spring and stuff like that, where

198
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 4: we're obviously doing more, but there's a decent amount of

199
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: stuff that that we put in in the spring that's

200
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: now shown up in.

201
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: In training camp.

202
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: But obviously, you know the structure of practice is different

203
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: with full pads and stuff like that.

204
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, I feel like we're at a good place

205
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: right guys.

206
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Estep.

207
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 3: Have a good day.
