1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: You want to join. I hope you're staying dry this morning,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: and it hasn't been too bad yet. It's okay. I'm

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: inside all day to day, But just curious how things

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: went for you guys down in Philadelphia. You know, to

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: t joint practices in the game itself, and I mean

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: in retrospect you take more from the joint practices or

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: I mean they're a little bit kind of scattered throughout.

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: You know. I thought it was great. You know, I

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: think our guys really got a lot of good quality

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: reps against a totally different scheme than they used to seeing,

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: and it kind of tested just our fundamentals and also

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: just our philosophy to see how it kind of stacks

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: up against another team. And it also breaks up the

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: monotony of camp going against the same guys over and

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: over again. So it was a great trip, a great

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: time for the guys that really, you know, spend a

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: lot of time together as well build that camaraderie. So

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: I definitely think it was a successful trip. I know

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: you've told us a lot, like you guys are at

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: game playing defense, just that process as you're in training camp,

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: how does it kind of evolve as you head towards

22
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: the season. It means that's something you're kind of actively

23
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: talking about discussing the guys. Surprise you, do you have

24
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of a sense of what you want to do

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: or is it the kind of thing where you're just

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: trying to get through training camp and then a couple

27
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: of weeks you'll kind of sit down and see where

28
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: the chips have all fallen in and kind of put

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: it together. No, you know, right now, we're really just

30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: focusing on fundamentals first and foremost, and also laying just

31
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: a foundation of calls and the foundation of just you know,

32
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: schemes and so. Yes, we are a game playing defense,

33
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: but there are things that are fundamental to the way

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: that we played defense here the last twenty years and

35
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: we gotta get we have to get good at those

36
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: before we can even think about moving on to something else.

37
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: But really it's all about fundamentals, you know, you know,

38
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: taking on blocks, tackling, just running, you know, doing you know,

39
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: the simple things at a high level on a consistent basis,

40
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: like that is our primary goal. I mean, how much

41
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: do you learn about guys as you get into training camp?

42
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Are you surprised? Often? Like when you kind of get going,

43
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Like guys come in, maybe they've gotten there, maybe they've

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: gotten worse. Just how often do you find yourself just

45
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: generally being surprised about how guys are performing one way

46
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: or the other. I wouldn't say I feel surprised. I

47
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: would say, you know, some guys. I would say some

48
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: guys do surprise you now, Like if it's a significant jump,

49
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: obviously you know they've been training hard in the offseason,

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: they just look totally different. I mean that's a huge surprise,

51
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: but a pleasant surprise. I guess they could go to

52
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: the other we can go to the other extreme. If

53
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: a guy comes in out of shape, you know you're

54
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: kind of like, but you kind of have a good

55
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: feel for him. You're never away from these guys for

56
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: too long where you're really just totally blindsided by you know,

57
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: by their weight or by their style of play. But

58
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: I will say this, like we've we've been blessed with

59
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: a great group of guys who are true professionals, right, so,

60
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: and we have a good mix of older and younger guys,

61
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: guys just kind of picking off of each other. So

62
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: it's I wouldn't say surprised at all. Yeah, just keep

63
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: going a couple more just specific guys. I mean, Bentley

64
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: kind a ton of experience last year. You know, just

65
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: what have you seen that kind of manifested stuff here

66
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: in the next season. Seems like he's been making plays

67
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: on the ball and just continues to seem to grow

68
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: in the system. Yeah, Bentley, I mean, he's been doing

69
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: a heck of a job for us. Not only you know,

70
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: obviously he's out there, he's playing fast, making a bunch

71
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: of tackles, a bunch of players, not only in the game,

72
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: but also in practice, in the practices, right and so

73
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: he's playing at a very high level. Now it's you know,

74
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: we gotta keep it there. We gotta keep it there

75
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: and continue to build on this. You know, we're nowhere

76
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: near where we'll be in October or November, so we've

77
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: got to continue to progress. But he's doing a heck

78
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: of a job for us, both on and off the field.

79
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: We ditch fifty one, What was up with that? Just

80
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: a slap in my face, right hey, Now he's better though,

81
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: you know it is what it is. Gave Ronnie a

82
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: chance right now, he's got big shoes to fill. One

83
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: one one more for you. Just Harvey thought he had

84
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: a real good game, was real active, just seemed to

85
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: be all over the place. Not sure if he was

86
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: you were here when he was here originally, but you know,

87
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: just what have you seen from him? Yeah, so this

88
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: is my first interaction with Harvey this year. Harvey is,

89
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: let's talk about physically if you know, at first, like

90
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: he's big, fast, strong, could do a lot of different things,

91
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: and obviously he's a tremendous ass in in the kicking game.

92
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: But also I will you know, going back to your

93
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: question about surprise, you know, I'm surprised just his natural

94
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: his natural ability off the ball, and that's where you

95
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: really start to see his athleticism shine. So he's doing

96
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: a good job for us, you know. Anytime you know,

97
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: we lost you know, when we lost Rayquan, it's like, ah,

98
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: you know, it's very tough because he was doing a

99
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: great job for us as well. But Harvey's done a

100
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: good job really stepping up into that role. Cool. I's

101
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: all I got for your joining. How anyone else want

102
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: to jump in? We're all good, Thanks coach,
