1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Well, I was just wondering. Um, for the most part, 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: you have the three core guys coming back at receiver, yourself, Sterling, 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: and Darius. You have a bunch of young guys. What 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: have you seen from some of the young guys so 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: far in camp. I've been I've been impressed with the 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: ability that these young guys have been able to learn 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: the material but also apply it to on the field. Um. 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: You know, with these guys, these young guys haven't gotten 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: the O, T A S UM in the off season work. 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: You've we've only had zoom. So for those guys to 11 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: be able to digest all that stuff and then actually 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: gotten performing on the field, I've been impressed. Um. You know, 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: in my opinion, this is a really good young class 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: of receivers coming in that I'm excited about to help grow, 15 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: to help them help the team. And you know, we're 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: gonna take it from there. But you know, we're just 17 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: taking it day by day, working on our our tools 18 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: to get better. Thank you. H Okay, Hey Olden, you 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: were in Detroit when a former Patriots assistant came in 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: and took over as a head coach. Curious does this 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: camp and this atmosphere I feel similar at all to 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: what experienced then, Um, there's some similarities for sure, but 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, the a lot different as well. I mean 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: we're Yeah, I haven't really thought about it too much, 25 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: but you know, it's it's camp. I mean, this is 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: a different camp because of the COVID situation. Um, you know, 27 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: everything is a little bit different. The location of where 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: we're having meetings and the standard that has been set 29 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: with the mask and the lanyards and stuff like that. 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: So but I haven't thought about so much. It's just 31 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: a veteran guy who's you know, been around the league 32 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: and different coaches. How does the coaches you know, quote 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: unquote intense get players to buy in? And what do 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: you think is the key to keep everyone on the 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: same page? You know? Um, you know's a veteran guy. 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: My job is to to keep the team close, help 37 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: guys develop, um and echo with the head coach and 38 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: the GM and my coach want to be put out there. 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,839 Speaker 1: So um, you know, so far, I really enjoyed. Um. 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: You know what Joe is brought to the table. Um. 41 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: I think one of the things I love the most 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: about them is that he's They're very him and Jason 43 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: Garrett are very detailed, UM, and Coach Garret uses all 44 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: the time he wants to be abundantly clear, um with everything. 45 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: So we teach the game and very very much detail. Um, 46 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: you know. So once we're getting, you know, in the game, 47 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: which it should come easy and we should know exactly 48 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: what expected out of us. Thanks. Then at the top 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: of this receiving corps, you got you Chief Clayton, three 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: guys who are really good receivers. But there's a perception 51 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: maybe around the league that you guys are missing that 52 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: number one receiver. I'm wondering if this reminds you at 53 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: all of you Doug and Baldwin and Curse in Seattle 54 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: are your Detroit receiving corps and how that matter, How 55 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: that defensive play is core, like that versus when you 56 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: had like Calvin Johnson with you. Yeah, you know, I 57 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: haven't heard heard anything like that being said, UM, And 58 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that any of other guys even listened 59 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: to it. I just know we show up with have 60 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: one purpose, um every day that has to get better 61 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: to help our team win, um, you know. And honestly, 62 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: we don't even have time to listen to that stuff 63 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: because everything is so intense right now. We're trying to 64 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: learn to playbook. Uh uh, you know, learn the standard 65 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: of play. But you know, I know we're all excited 66 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: about each other. UM. You know, try not to compare 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: to other you know, other organizations, other players, but we're 68 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: excited about the opportunity to get back on the field 69 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: and uh and play in September, and we're taking every 70 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: step we possibly can to help our team. UM, when 71 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: you had thirteen points in seven yards for catch last year, 72 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: your highest in two thousand thirteen at age thirty one, 73 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: anything too while you were able to make somebody big 74 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: plays there. UM, I would say, you know, having opportunities 75 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: um and and having a solid offense, and you know 76 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: when you have a couple of star players on your 77 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: team like Sterling and and say Kwan and it definitely 78 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: opens it up for you. But no, there's no there's 79 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: no rhyme reason to it besides just you know, showing 80 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: up every day, trying to work hard and more importantly, 81 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: trying to win. UM. That's always gonna be my goal 82 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: when I sit on the field. The personal stats don't 83 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: really matter too much to me. I just want to win. UM. 84 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: So that's what we're trying to do. We're gonna take 85 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: three more Pat Leonard Jordan and Rock Pat Leonard. Hey, Golden, 86 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: I know you spent some time working out with Daniel 87 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: Jones appointed this offseason, but then and then now in 88 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: training camp at the start here, you know, what have 89 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: you scene from the young quarterback in his determination to 90 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: want to get better and to take that next leap 91 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: here in your two well, you know, for one of 92 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: the guys, he's ripped now, man, I mean the guy 93 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: is solids, very solid guys. I love seeing that put 94 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: on some muscle. But you know, you know, DJ is 95 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: who he was last year. You know, he's you know, 96 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: same person, but I think he understands the game a 97 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: little bit more. Um, but you know he's he's he 98 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: consistently is I mean, he shows up every single day. 99 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: He's looking for ways to get to get better. Uh, 100 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: you know after every play just about we're talking about, 101 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, what we can do better? Uh, you know, 102 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: trying to get on the same page. Because we didn't 103 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: have that time in April for O T A S 104 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: and that team building, We've had to do that you know, 105 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: off site or you know, kind of once we got 106 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: the camp so you know, we're just taking a day 107 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: by day. But but DJ is always a press from 108 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: the moment that he showed up in the building last 109 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: year when we drafted him. I mean, he's always conducted 110 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: himself a very great way, and you know he's he's 111 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: who you on your side. I mean, he's hungry to 112 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: be be great and that's what you want out of 113 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: your leader of the offense. Can he golf? Yeah, he 114 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: can swing it. He can swing it, and he's not 115 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: ready for me yet, but he can swing. He hits 116 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: it a mile all right? Thanks? Hey Golden? What's going 117 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: on him? Hey? Um, I'm just curious when you look around, 118 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of the same faces on offense, right, 119 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: but the offense as a whole extra for probably a 120 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: lot of different reasons, wasn't consistently good or great. What 121 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: gives you confidence this year that the offense is going 122 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: to be better and what's different when you look around? Um, 123 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: I would just say, you know, every one of our 124 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: guys are showing up every day and trying to get better, 125 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: and it's we're all hungry to to just win, um, 126 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: and we're just kind of taking the day by day. 127 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: But um, you know, I mean what he asked a 128 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: question more time, just so I can make sure. I'm 129 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: just curious, wouldn't you have a lot of the same pieces, 130 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: But why is the offense going to be good and 131 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna be better? Because it could It could be schematic, 132 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: it can be you know, because of the players, it 133 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: could be any anything. I would I would say kind 134 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: of what I said earlier, attention to detail that we 135 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: are um going over as we install it. Um, you know, 136 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: and I can speak. You know, Jason Garrett shows up 137 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: every day and I keep saying, it's where he's abundantly 138 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: clear and what he expects from us, and our standard 139 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: is very, very very high that we're all chasing every 140 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: single day. Um. But the detail, no matter if it's 141 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: a walk through or in the meeting room or wherever 142 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: it is, we are paying attention to detail. And just 143 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: speak as a receiver. You know, you know, no matter 144 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: where it is, we're in the correct stance, no matter 145 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: where it is a walk through or full speed. Uh. 146 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: You know, we're getting our steps down correctly in our routes. UM. 147 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: And things like that. I think you're gonna make a 148 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: huge difference. Um, you know, come September once we started playing. 149 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: So just at tension, the attension to detail, I think 150 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: is what's gonna, you know, really help us out this year. 151 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: All right, last question here, Rock, Hey Golden, your guy 152 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: that knows, uh, you know, there's more to life than 153 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: just football. We talked to having a lot of conversations 154 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: last year regarding concussions and things like that. I was 155 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: wondering how how much thought you gave to the opt 156 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: out this year given all that's going on in the world. 157 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: I definitely thought of, you know, thought about it. Not 158 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: that I thought one way or another, but it definitely 159 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: crossed my mind. I talked to my wife and my 160 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: family about it, and um, you know, we felt like 161 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: we wanted to play, and we felt confident that we 162 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: could play the game safely as long as we the 163 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: NFL protected us and we went through the proper measurements 164 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: to make sure we were safe.
