Speaker 1: and safety Grant Delpit. We start with offensive coordinator Tommy Reese,

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: who talked about the anticipation for his first game as

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: an NFL o s over these last.

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: Couple of weeks when he's really had time to spend

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: with jobs.

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see his intensity continue to show through. Is

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: great during training camp, and then it's been fun to

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: like game plan and prepare and get ready for opponents.

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: A lot of open dialogue on comfort level, on how

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 3: we're going to protect things, on seeing different things. So

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: when you a guy with as much experience as he does,

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot that you can ask of

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: the quarterback and he owns that role and he's still

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: great with the guys, giving them confidence and providing just

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: a calming, you know, presence for all those young guys

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: that are playing for us.

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: Learn about Al Golden and his scheme and that I

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 4: guess there's one year he spelled on the same staff

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 4: and Notre Dame.

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really like Al. What a great dude. Did

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: a great job at Notre Dame. Obviously I was following

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: it being my alma mater, So happy for what he

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: did there, but very diverse in his defensive scheme has

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: answers to try to take away what you do really

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: well put those guys in positions to have a lot

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: of success. You know, brought an advanced way to look

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: at at defensive football to that group and obviously had

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: great results.

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 5: And you know, I expect him to do the same.

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 5: You know in Cincinnati.

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 6: To pro you have to sort of project even more

39
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 6: than he was. Somebody going from like one job to

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 6: another at that the same level.

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think like making the jump and projecting

42
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: what they're going to use and what they're not going

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: to use. And you know, college offenses can be run

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: a little bit differently than pro offenses. Obviously, the field

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: dimension of the hashes and some formations are allowed, some

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: aren't running court Like, there's a lot of elements to

47
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: the college game that don't always apply. So it's definitely

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: trying to look at what they defended that really applies

49
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: to how it can translate. What are their core beliefs,

50
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: what are the things that they hung their hat on,

51
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 3: and what could we potentially see, you know, throughout the year.

52
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: So again, a lot of defense from al which you

53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: know he had answers to a lot of different sets

54
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 3: and answers to things that people do well. And you

55
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: know his group is always very well prepared and expect

56
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: more of the same in Cincinnati.

57
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 7: The challenge in game planning when he didn't show anything

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 7: in the summer.

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 8: And yeah, so diverse.

60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 9: You know, it's got a big toolbox. So what's the

61
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 9: challenge facing you guys offensively?

62
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, you try to find a

63
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 3: blend of you always want to do what you feel

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: like your team operates well, and try to hone in

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: on what our offensive identity is, what puts our players

66
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: in position to have success, while also you know, being

67
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: mindful on their scheme and mindful on the different areas

68
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: to allow your players to go out there and play

69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 3: fast mentally. So for us it's you know, we spent

70
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: time digging through years and digging through film and trying

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: to you know, piece together what applies, piece together situationally,

72
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: what can apply. And but again it's really about our

73
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: guys operating what we do at a high level, giving

74
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: them the tools to play fast mentally and so we

75
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: can go out there and operate.

76
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 10: So Harold's so involved throughout training camp and the offense

77
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 10: and what you guys are trying to do. You know,

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 10: so a couple of trick plays that he was involved

79
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 10: in at times just.

80
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 5: Don't remember the trick plays must have been somewhere else.

81
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 10: How much a weapon can can he be for you

82
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 10: guys this season?

83
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 9: How much he looking forward to sort of?

84
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Harold has done a nice job for us, has

85
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: learned it well, has executed well. It's made plays for

86
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: us when we've asked him to. You know, he's done

87
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: a really nice like there's been a lot on his plate.

88
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: That position, by nature, when you're kind of that move

89
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: tight end, you're typically asked to line up in a

90
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: lot of places. So as many variations as he's had

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: to own as mentally, he's done a nice job with it.

92
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: And then again, like our our goal for all of

93
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: our players is when they get out there, that they

94
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: can really simplify their thoughts, simplify what they need to

95
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: focus on, which allows them to execute and play fast.

96
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: And you know, for him, with the volume we've asked

97
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: him to do, he's found a way to do that.

98
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: And CJ's done a great job coaching him getting ready

99
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: to play. And Dave, as a veteran in that room's

100
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: put his arm around him and helped him through some stuff.

101
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: So really pleased with Harold and you know, excited to

102
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: see how it continues to progress.

103
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 11: You have character, charity, you know what the heat brings,

104
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 11: but what gives you a confidence the rest of that

105
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 11: when very young guys that they can step up.

106
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 9: And play the level you need him too.

107
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think those guys have have different

108
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: skill sets that we can utilize in different situations. And

109
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: you know, Chad and that group have done a great

110
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: job of really owning the different movements, the different things

111
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: that we've asked them to do, owning the roles and

112
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 3: responsibilities of each guy, which can be different. You know,

113
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: I look at it as piece and things together to

114
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 3: really add up to a sum of a hole, and

115
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: all of them have had different strengths, you know, throughout

116
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: training camp, and all of them, especially some of those

117
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: young guys, like when their numbers were called, whether it

118
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: was in our practices, joint practices, preseason, they made plays.

119
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: And we're excited about that group. They're definitely a group

120
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: that works extremely hard at it to get the details right,

121
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: to get things accomplished, both in the run game and

122
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: the past game. So, like I said, Chad and Bravo

123
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: have done a great job with that group of getting

124
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: them ready to play, and we do feel like we can,

125
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: you know, really have a strength in numbers there confidence.

126
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 12: In Dylan as your backup quarterback.

127
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: What did you see him that makes you feel good

128
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: about this hitting history.

129
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the processing that he that he's applied to the game.

130
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: You know, I think when he's had his opportunity in

131
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: the preseason, we've seen you know him operate you know,

132
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: really efficiently within the offense.

133
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 5: So, look, Dylan has put a lot of work in.

134
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 3: He's been thrown in there in different settings with different

135
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: reps and different opportunities against good competition. You know, played

136
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: in the preseason, so you know, continuing to build those

137
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: opportunities form more important as the season goes on, and

138
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: continue to develop him to get him caught up to speed.

139
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: But there's a poise there with him that that does

140
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: give us confidence in his ability to execute.

141
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 5: Short we do.

142
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 9: Standard.

143
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: We've got three backs that we feel I can go

144
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: ahead and get us a yard time, like.

145
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 13: Henrik sating that you have to it's not one person's responsibility,

146
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 13: but sense he winds up on the one side, like

147
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 13: how much of a test.

148
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 9: Is this gonna be for him?

149
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, he's a great player. You know, he's led

150
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: the league in sacks for a reason. Uh plays with

151
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: extremely high football. IQ has good rush plans, good movements,

152
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: can finish you know, through traffic, can finish around traffic.

153
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, you're right in saying it takes every one.

154
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: It takes the receivers getting open, it takes the ball

155
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 3: coming out on time, it takes the guys that are

156
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: gonna help him protection. All of those pieces add up

157
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: to a successful protection plan. And then you know, we

158
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: got a challenge Duan to own his one on one

159
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: matchups when those are called.

160
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: Like, Tom, what do you what was your relationship Like

161
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: with Isaiah Bond, I just cross bass with him at Alabam.

162
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 14: Money wouldn't like so much about his skill set.

163
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I be and I were together one year, really

164
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: a rewarding year as a coach and as a player

165
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: for him. But he came to work every day. You know,

166
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: we had no issues with the work ethic, no issues

167
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: with him learning it and understanding what his role was.

168
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: And he made a ton of big plays for us

169
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: that season and that was, you know, something that was

170
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: called upon on him and asked of him and and

171
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: really had a good relationship throughout the year.

172
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 5: You know, I think his skill set.

173
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: You obviously the speed's there, but for a speed player

174
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: has the ability to be variable in his route running

175
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: and give us some different tools there. So he's come

176
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: in learned it is, you know, handled himself the right way,

177
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 3: being kind of a late ad.

178
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 5: To the group.

179
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: And you know, we'll see continue to how we progress

180
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: with him and excited to see where that can go.

181
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 6: Do you feel like you and Kevin have sort of

182
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 6: matched over the preseason in terms of you know, the

183
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 6: communication flow, all of that stuff that you know kind

184
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 6: of you need to have on game day between you.

185
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: It's a great It's a great point because it was.

186
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: You know, when you're kind of working hand in hand,

187
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: all off season goes smooth. All putting it together go smooth.

188
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: Game day is a different different deal, right, And so

189
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: we tested being down, We tested being in the box,

190
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, what works best for our flow. We felt like,

191
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: you know me, being up was the best set of

192
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: tools that we could have for the game day for

193
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: the communication, for the vision from the box. That's where

194
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 3: I've been most of my career calling it. Sort to

195
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: have that same viewpoint to help has been important, but

196
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: it's been it's been really seamless. I think we see

197
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: the game through a very similar lens, you know, as

198
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: much as I can and support him on game day.

199
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: That's that's part of my job, and making sure that

200
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: we put our players in the best position.

201
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 13: I mean, you kind of sat down at the beginning

202
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 13: of the office's and to rebuild this run game over

203
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 13: some of the points of that saus what we're really got.

204
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 14: Focus just.

205
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there was a first, a return to

206
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: the commitment of running the football and finding ways to

207
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 3: do it versus tough looks and advantageous looks. I think

208
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: identifying who we want to be paired with, what can

209
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: we do up front, like what are we good at?

210
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: And who do we want to be and finding out

211
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: that mesh like who we set out to be in

212
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: February might not be exactly who we are today, but

213
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: we've identified what we're good at, and I think identifying

214
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 3: and then establishing a course set of this is what

215
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: we can hang our hat on, and then this is

216
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: what compliments off of that is really important. And then

217
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: you got to rep the hell out of it, and

218
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: you got to commit time and effort to get to

219
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: those points. And you know, to be a great running

220
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: team all and have to buy in. The quarterback has

221
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: to buy into the mental side of it. The wide

222
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: receivers have to buy into the physical side of it.

223
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 3: And when you can build that amongst the group, then

224
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: you can really start to run the ball well. And

225
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: you know, I feel like we've done, you know, a

226
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: nice job up to this point of building that and

227
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: again excited to see where the run game can continue

228
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: to develop to and add wrinkles, do and have some

229
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: creative ideas rolling more.

230
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: Can Joe run you know all the keepers and bootlegs

231
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: and the different things that I know you're probably gonna

232
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: want to do in this offense.

233
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe throughout his career has had tremendous success with

234
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: those things, even going back just a couple of years

235
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: while he was here. So we have confidence Joe executing

236
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: the scheme.

237
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 8: Kind of felt game you're gonna be calling. There's really

238
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 8: emotions and nerves going into this.

239
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kev's calling it, so I just you know, to

240
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 5: make that.

241
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 3: But no, I'm pretty I'm pretty calm, you know, Like

242
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: I'm excited about the opportunity. I'm excited about game day

243
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: and you know, seeing the plan come to fruition and

244
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: seeing the world that our guys have put in come

245
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: to fruition. As a coach, as rewarding as anything as

246
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: you do is when you get to go and see

247
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: and and coach your guys, work with them all week,

248
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: game day comes and see all the work that that

249
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: they've put in and all the time they've put into

250
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: a game plan come to life. I mean, that's that's

251
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: kind of why you do it, is to put your

252
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: players in great success and then you get so much

253
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: reward from seeing them have that success on the field.

254
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: Next up as defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who expressed the

255
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: importance of the defensive line against the Bengals.

256
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 9: Obviously, you talk.

257
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 6: About Joe and we talk about, you know, the receivers,

258
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 6: But what has Chase Brown added to What dimension he's

259
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 6: sort of added to that that Bengals offense.

260
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, he gives them a big play running back.

261
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 16: The guy's got good speed, He's developed every year he's

262
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 16: been there, he's earned trust and you know, they've been

263
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 16: a bit of a one dimensional team over the last

264
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 16: couple of years. You know, Look, there's a big disparity

265
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 16: in the rankings and in past game and rush game,

266
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 16: and I'm sure they want to rectify that.

267
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 15: So he's a big part of that. They bought brought

268
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 15: in p Ryan.

269
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 16: To to be in protection in some third down situations,

270
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 16: and he's good in the passing game. And they drafted

271
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 16: a guy too, So they've made a big commitment to

272
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 16: the running game.

273
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 7: Has two new starters on the offensive line like the Bengals.

274
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 9: How much does that factor in your game plan?

275
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 16: Well, the biggest thing is our defensive line is much

276
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 16: much improved over last year. And I think we've got

277
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 16: back to our personality. You know, we we saw it

278
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 16: in I think we started seeing it back in OTAs

279
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 16: we show good signs of it in training camp, and

280
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 16: I think, you know, even though we didn't have our

281
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 16: guys on the field a lot during pre preseason games,

282
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 16: we saw it in the practices and we saw it

283
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 16: in the preseason games.

284
00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 15: And that's a.

285
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 16: Huge, huge thing for us because you know, it's hard

286
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 16: to win versus Jamar Chase and t Higgins and Josephas

287
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 16: and Kiseki and those guys with a quarterback like you

288
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 16: know Burrow. So you know, we have to really we

289
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 16: have to win up front, and that's a big part

290
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 16: of it. Guys like Mason Graham, we brought in here

291
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 16: to give us interior rush, brought in guys like Elie

292
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 16: Collins to give us interior rush. You know, those are

293
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 16: those are big things. We know they can help on

294
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 16: the outside part of the field with guys like Miles,

295
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 16: they can chip, they can leave tight ends into protection.

296
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 15: But our ability to.

297
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 16: Win inside in this game is going to go a

298
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 16: long way to coming out with a win because the

299
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 16: ball comes out so fast and you know, shortest distance

300
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 16: between two points straight line, and those guys are closer

301
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 16: to the play, So those guys need to step up

302
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 16: for us. They need to win those matchups. And you know,

303
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 16: when we play our best, our d line leads us

304
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 16: there as our engine.

305
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 13: No more Meathan and some of the growing things navigated that.

306
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm cautiously I get maybe cautiously guardedly optimistic, because

307
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 16: I haven't really thought about that in a while, particularly

308
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 16: the way that he played against the Rams, the way

309
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 16: he practiced against Philly.

310
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 15: I think it's in his body now, you know.

311
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 16: I mean, we see the quickness he he he made

312
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 16: a big effort to change his body type to be

313
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 16: a little bit more lean and dropped a little bit

314
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 16: of weight. But his movement skills have been outstanding. He's

315
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 16: really good with his hands, and he just has really

316
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 16: good instincts. So, you know, I'm guardedly optimistic.

317
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 9: You know.

318
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 16: I think there's always a tendency to sometimes regress in

319
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 16: the heat of battle. But I think he's shown the

320
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 16: you know that he's got it in there, and and

321
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 16: I was very encouraged. But we all in the preseason,

322
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 16: particularly like I said, particularly Philly and then the Rams

323
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 16: game on the move.

324
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 7: And inside the third obvious passing. But does Mason Graham

325
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 7: a pretty much free down players.

326
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 16: You Well, we'll see we have we have a lot

327
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 16: of different rush groups. We'll have some rush groups where

328
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 16: we have three defensive ends. Well, some rush groups where

329
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 16: we have two defensive tackles in there. I won't talk

330
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 16: a whole lot about the matchups, but we also have

331
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 16: different outside rushers. You know, we have guys that are

332
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 16: more power, guys that are more speed, and we're gonna

333
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 16: try to use all those guys in different roles and

334
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 16: you know, just a little bit like a pitcher with

335
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 16: different pitches, you know, just keep throwing different things out

336
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 16: there and keep them fresh and keep them in good

337
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 16: position to you know, sort of wear out the opponent.

338
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 16: The one constant on pretty much any third down that

339
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 16: we'll have, ninety five will be out there. But after

340
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 16: that we'll have a lot of different things. And you know,

341
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 16: I think that all those guys deserve chances. They've all

342
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 16: shown that they can win. They all have a little

343
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 16: different skill set and I think that'll benefit us.

344
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 17: And it has been making such a big impact throughout

345
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 17: the summer and now looking at the week one more

346
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 17: than Green Dot.

347
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 18: In the in the preseason, in the in training camp.

348
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: What makes him ready for the moment to step in

349
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: there and be a leader.

350
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 9: As a rookie.

351
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean I'd sort of flip that question around

352
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 16: and say, what.

353
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 15: What makes him not capable of doing that?

354
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 14: You know what I mean?

355
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 16: Like it's it's it's just, you know, every every hurdle

356
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 16: we've given him, he's he's jumped. He hasn't bad in

357
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 16: an eye. He has great instincts, he has great eyes

358
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 16: for the football. You know, leads our defense and interceptions

359
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 16: through training camp, and you know, things like that. He's

360
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 16: just wired to the ball. He's he's big, he's physical,

361
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 16: green dot you know, you know, relaying the call. You know,

362
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 16: I think I think we can. We might, we might

363
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 16: overestimate like that, but his play is going to his

364
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 16: play and his his communication and those kind of being

365
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 16: things are going to be what sort of creates his

366
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 16: leadership on the field.

367
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 7: You laid eyes on Huntington. Did you think he could

368
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 7: make this team or did he surprised you that he

369
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 7: made it?

370
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 16: No, I mean it doesn't surprise me because he had

371
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 16: what we're looking for, which is movement skills.

372
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 15: It's a defensive tackle.

373
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 16: I watched his pro day from two lane, one of

374
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 16: our scouts brought to us hide us and and you.

375
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 15: Saw a powerful guy that could run in four sixes.

376
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 16: You know, he's a little bit a little bit shorter,

377
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 16: but there's you know, been some of those guys. But

378
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 16: he was playing as like a base defensive end, sort

379
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 16: of five technique, and you had to sort of you

380
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 16: had to sort of project his skill set to our defense.

381
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 16: But we liked him inside, just watched a couple of plays.

382
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 16: He played with great effort, played with speed, and made

383
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 16: a big point to get him after the draft.

384
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 15: So hats off to those guys.

385
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 16: But you know, early on there was a there was

386
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 16: a really steep learning curve because he was playing inside

387
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 16: really for the first time, as opposed to just playing

388
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 16: a three four defensive end. But you know, once he

389
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 16: got it, played with great effort, plays with great speed.

390
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 16: Like I said, our speed up front, our movement skills

391
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 16: up front is so much improved, and Aiden's.

392
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 15: Part of that.

393
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 16: Plus he can do stuff on special teams too, and

394
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 16: and that's a huge bonus to us. Those guys Joe

395
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 16: try On and Cam Thomas and Alex and you know

396
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 16: in the past, Sam Kamara has done those kind of

397
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 16: things for us. Mike Hall did some of that for

398
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 16: us last year. Those big guys that can run not

399
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 16: only help us on defense, but you know that they

400
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 16: might be able to save some first downs, kick covering

401
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 16: kicks and covering punts.

402
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: Was Greg doing his return to starting cornerback and being

403
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: on the outside at least.

404
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 16: Some looking it's been see seamless for him because he's

405
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 16: played a lot outside over the last couple of years anyway,

406
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 16: So you know it's it's a little bit more just

407
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 16: sort of full time out there. But he's he's a

408
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 16: quality player for us. Brings brings a lot of energy

409
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 16: to us, you know, is it you know, being being

410
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 16: on the opposite side of of Denzel, you know you're

411
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 16: gonna have some chances for some passes.

412
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 15: He's made some big plays for us.

413
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 16: You know, just in general, our secondary really needs to

414
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 16: play well.

415
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 15: We need to.

416
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 16: You know, play tight enough coverage two to negate some

417
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 16: of the free access quick throws that Burrow uses. But

418
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 16: then also we got to win a lot of one

419
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 16: on ones when he given one on ones. He trusts

420
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 16: those receivers and it doesn't matter if it's Jamar Chase,

421
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 16: it could be Jesseki, it could be Geoschvas, it could

422
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 16: be any of those guys. Burton, if you're on the field.

423
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 16: He trusts you, and he's gonna throw it on those

424
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 16: one on one. So you know a lot of people

425
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 16: look at that matchup up front as being key to

426
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 16: this game. That matchup outside is just as key. Not

427
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 16: number one defending the pass, but then number two getting

428
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 16: those guys tackled because Jamar Chase is once he gets

429
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 16: the ball in his hand, he's like a running back,

430
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 16: very very strong. You know, Higgins is a strong runner

431
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 16: after the catch too, So we have a lot of

432
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 16: respect for those guys. It's going to go hand in hand.

433
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 16: Hopefully our pass rush can help our defensive backs by

434
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 16: making the ball come out a little bit quicker than

435
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 16: they wanted to, and hopefully our defensive backs can make

436
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 16: the quarterback hold the ball a little bit longer than

437
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 16: he wants to and buy some time for our rush.

438
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 19: You said that Carson has cleared every hurdle. I don't

439
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 19: know if you've ever had any reservations about handing him

440
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 19: as much responsibility as you're giving him. Did he put

441
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 19: you at ease at any point this summer though, just

442
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 19: in the way he was taking things on.

443
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 16: I've had a lot, Like I said, when I was

444
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 16: at Buffalo, I had a rookie, Preston Brown, that was similar.

445
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 16: He was a third or fourth round draft pick I

446
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 16: can't remember which played every almost every snap on defense.

447
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 16: That guy had like led the NFL and tackles for

448
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 16: like three years in a row.

449
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 14: But he just.

450
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 16: Had a similar demeanor and nothing was too big for him,

451
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 16: went out and you know, you know, just did his job,

452
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 16: earned and respect that the other players. You know, it's

453
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 16: one thing earning the respect of your position coach, it's

454
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 16: earning the respect and the trust of your coordinator. But

455
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 16: just as important that is earning the trust of your teammates.

456
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 16: And I know our guys have a lot of trust

457
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 16: in him because of what he's done on the field

458
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 16: and in the classroom. And you know, I was I

459
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 16: was haunting the whole ways here late one night and

460
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 16: looking for some snacks and went into the linebacker room

461
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 16: and he was in there watching film.

462
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 15: You know.

463
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 16: So it just that that kind of stuff earns earns

464
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 16: your trust, not just as a coach, but also as

465
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 16: a teammate a lot more.

466
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 7: From one to ten, you kept the ten d linemen.

467
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 7: Is that your strongest group in your three years?

468
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 16: Well yeah, well we'll see, right, But I think they

469
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 16: have the makings of that. I think one of the

470
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 16: biggest things is we're we're able to play a true

471
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 16: form of attack now because of those and we have

472
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 16: improved players. I think Isaah Maguire had a good year

473
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 16: last year. I think he's improved over that. Alex is

474
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 16: as good as I've seen him. Guys like cam add

475
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 16: and Joe try on a lot of speed there, you know,

476
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 16: defensive tackles, getting some young blood in there. You know,

477
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 16: it's it's I think we have the makings of it,

478
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 16: but you know, when it's all said and done, we

479
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 16: got prove it on the field. I like where we're going,

480
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 16: but you know, let's not let's not crown them just yet.

481
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Special teams coordinator Bubba Van Trone discussed the decision to

482
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: go with Andrey Schmidt as the starting kicker.

483
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: Kicker situation, What went into that thinking and had to

484
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: feel about Undering getting into this game.

485
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 18: I think Andre did a nice job since he's been here,

486
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 18: took advantage of every opportunity that we gave him, and

487
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 18: just made a decision. Felt like it was the right

488
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 18: thing to do for our team.

489
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 9: It was not so much.

490
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 8: About the kid pres in the game of.

491
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 13: His whole body of work since you know you first

492
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 13: got your last year, So just what have you seen

493
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 13: from him and how.

494
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 9: He gets the ball?

495
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 18: And I honestly think it was more just the consistency overall,

496
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 18: and we felt that that was the best way to

497
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 18: the best way to go. The consistency with the practice,

498
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 18: to the consistency with the results in the game, and

499
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 18: at the end of the day, we felt it was

500
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 18: the best thing to do.

501
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 9: I think in the UFL, do you think that's his limit?

502
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 18: No, I think he actually hit a sixty four. Maybe

503
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 18: I think I think that's what it was. I'd have

504
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 18: to check, honestly, No, he I mean he can hit,

505
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 18: he has he has a good leg, so he shit

506
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 18: balls over sixty for us in practice.

507
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 9: What was the conversation I mean I had with Dustin?

508
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 18: I mean I would say this like we had a

509
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 18: lot of We had a lot of really good times

510
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 18: with dust I love, I love the guy. You know,

511
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 18: it's things happen in sports, and it was time to

512
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 18: just go a different direction.

513
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 12: Just feel about your turn game heading into the sky.

514
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 18: Yeah, love love the uh the options that we have

515
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 18: back there. I feel like we have a few more

516
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 18: ball handlers more suited to do what we're what we're asking,

517
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 18: So feel confident in that group, had a really good

518
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 18: training camp. I feel like the guys are bought into

519
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 18: what we're doing, and I feel like we've had kind

520
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 18: of like a shift in culture in that in that regard.

521
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 20: Have a stable set of returners or do you plan

522
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 20: to rotate guys.

523
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 9: In and out both?

524
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 18: I think the kickoff stuff, could you could see a

525
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 18: handful of of guys back there and then the punt returner.

526
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 18: Obviously Deandre's our guy back there, so uh feel good

527
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 18: about him. He's had a lot of production in his career.

528
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 18: Very smart, communicates well, good leader, you know. I think

529
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 18: that those things stand out whenever you're acquiring a veteran

530
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 18: player that has experience, especially whenever you're playing in conditions

531
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 18: like we do. I feel I think that that's important

532
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 18: to be able to have a guy that knows and

533
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 18: has experience back there.

534
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 12: In the last several years, tried by and then Jacky,

535
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 12: Jojo and Nats before I had a.

536
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 7: Guy that you know, spend there and then for.

537
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 18: Yeah, and I think with like some of the guys

538
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 18: you mentioned, it was it was unfortunate that we had

539
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 18: some injuries to those positions. You know, Jakim gets injured

540
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 18: in the first play of the preseason last preseason game.

541
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 18: Nahim didn't come back obviously as we expected. It was

542
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 18: a little bit longer for him and wasn't available for us.

543
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 18: So I think now it's it's good to have a

544
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 18: healthy veteran back there that that had that plays with.

545
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 18: I would say, he's got some savvy to him and

546
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 18: excited to be able to block for a guy that

547
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 18: can you know, make some yards game winning kick.

548
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 9: Impact the decision on what to.

549
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 21: Do a gig.

550
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 18: I mean, I'm sure it impacted it a little bit.

551
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 18: I think over I do think overall, the just the

552
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 18: consistency with the body of work from when he started here.

553
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 18: He's very I would say, he's just he hits a

554
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 18: he hits a clean ball, he's got good off time,

555
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 18: the elevation is good. He's he's just been an assistant

556
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 18: person overall, and we liked that about him.

557
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 16: I felt like you guys were able, your unit was

558
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 16: able to make some really strong tackles on special teams.

559
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 13: In the return game.

560
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 9: Uh, and so they plays that muff punt.

561
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: How important is it to start the year off with

562
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: those preseason that preseason body of work.

563
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 9: Even though it might be a little bit vanilla.

564
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 18: And in terms of your unit, yeah, I think it's important.

565
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 8: I do.

566
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 18: I think it's important to be able to set the

567
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 18: standard for how how you want it to look. And

568
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 18: that was a that was a big point of emphasis

569
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 18: for us. We gave up way too many yards last year.

570
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 18: We were not sound in a lot of areas. I

571
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 18: think our players have definitely bought in. We put a

572
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 18: like I said, we put a priority on it with

573
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 18: how we practice so and it's really it's really comes

574
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 18: down to the players policing themselves on how how the

575
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 18: style football is going to be. You know, us as coaches,

576
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 18: we can only do so much and and say so much.

577
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 18: I think it's it really comes from within the within

578
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 18: the unit and pretty much put it on our guys like, look,

579
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 18: if you want to be good and this is what

580
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 18: you want it to look like, then you know, hold

581
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 18: yourselves accountable and let's go do it. So I think

582
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 18: that they've all done that.

583
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 10: You've noticed the shift in culture.

584
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 17: Is that your entire unit or how have you seen that?

585
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 13: Tangibly?

586
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 18: I see it amongst the whole building for our for

587
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 18: our for our team in general. I think that, you know,

588
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 18: I think everyone's holding everyone more accountable. I definitely see

589
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 18: it in my unit as well. I think we have

590
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 18: We've had better leadership amongst our core group guys like

591
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 18: Winston Reid, you know DC, you know, adding him to

592
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 18: the unit. He's been vocal in meetings. Corey's done a

593
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 18: better job with that stuff. Obviously was voted captain. He's

594
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 18: had a really good offseason in training camp. So I

595
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 18: think that we've definitely we've grown in that area. So

596
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 18: I'm really excited for, you know, our group.

597
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 17: That you've held them to a higher student or just

598
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 17: some of those leaders that you mentioned have taken the

599
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 17: initiative on there.

600
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 18: I'm trying to, you know, and the onus ends up

601
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 18: it's coming on the players. I mean, obviously I'm gonna

602
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 18: hold them accountable. I'm gonna do my do as best

603
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 18: I can to to get it out of them. But

604
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 18: I think at the end of the day, like the best,

605
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 18: the best teams that I've been a part of, the

606
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 18: best special teams, units that I've been a part of

607
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 18: have been player led and player driven units and teams.

608
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 18: It's being able to you know, call out a guy

609
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 18: when he's not doing his job. It's being able to

610
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 18: Like the other day, I come out of a meeting

611
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 18: with Kevin and Winston Reid is leading a player lead

612
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 18: special teams meeting before we even start our meeting in

613
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 18: the morning. So when you see things like that that

614
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 18: are happening, I feel like you have a better chance

615
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 18: to be to be good.

616
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 9: James is swashings a Carson.

617
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 18: I mean Carson's He's repped really in pretty much every

618
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 18: face for us. Whether he plays for us in the

619
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 18: game is tbd.

620
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 7: So players from your Senior Bowl team did you end

621
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 7: up having here?

622
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 18: We acquired a few after the after the cuts to

623
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 18: we signed a handful of guys to practice squad. We

624
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 18: did not draft any players that I had coached in

625
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 18: Senior Bowl, but we have a few now on the roster,

626
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 18: a few, a few of the offensive linemen.

627
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, Charlie Jones obviously had the huge return the last

628
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 6: time they were up here. Just what I mean that

629
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 6: that the impact of him and how have you seen him,

630
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 6: you know, even since then?

631
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 8: What he provides for them.

632
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think that Darren's done a really good job

633
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 18: with their group. I mean, Darren Simmons, their coordinator coached

634
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 18: against me whenever I was here. He's been there for

635
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 18: over twenty some years, so they have a lot of

636
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 18: consistency with that group. Charlie Jones has done an incredible

637
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 18: job since he's been in the league. Talented returner that

638
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 18: they can they obviously has very good top end speed.

639
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 18: They have, They have a number of ball handlers him,

640
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 18: Burton Williams, all those guys can can can do it

641
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 18: pretty well. So big emphasis for US and coverage this week.

642
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 9: You mentioned that the entire culture seems to have changed.

643
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 9: Why do you think that is?

644
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 6: Do you think it's because of the disappointment that last

645
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 6: year was or do you think it's the how of

646
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 6: the influx of players that.

647
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 8: You've got this year?

648
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 18: Probably a combination of both. You know, I think that

649
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 18: you know, no one likes to have a season like

650
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 18: we had, and you know, if, if, if things are

651
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 18: going to change, you have to change some things that

652
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 18: you're doing in your approach to to those things. And honestly,

653
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 18: I think a lot of it was and coach did

654
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 18: a great job of this of you know, addressing the

655
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 18: star players is like own own what we put out

656
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 18: there own as coaches, what we you know, put out

657
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 18: there own as players, what we put out there on

658
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 18: the field, and on what we put on tape, Like

659
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 18: we don't want to watch bat Like you don't want

660
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 18: to come in after a game and watch bad stuff

661
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 18: on tape, So like, what do you what do you

662
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 18: want to see as a coach? What do you want

663
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 18: to see as a player and do something about it?

664
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 18: So I think that, yeah, well I think and not

665
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 18: to say that, like we weren't trying before, but I

666
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 18: think that, yeah, I think there's been more of an

667
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 18: emphasis on it and Carson before.

668
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 22: What have your general impressions been of him? Was a

669
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 22: pretty unique situation to step in and take on such

670
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 22: an impactful role as a rookie.

671
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 18: I mean, I can't say enough good things about him.

672
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 18: He I mean when when we evaluated him, When I

673
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 18: evaluate him, the first thing I saw on tape was instinctive,

674
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 18: always around the football, right, really good tackler, super smart,

675
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 18: great kid, good communicator. I mean, he's got leadership, tradest

676
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 18: out the you know what, So I mean, this kid

677
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 18: is high, high, high level. To me, he's really what

678
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 18: you I mean, we got We got lucky to be

679
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 18: able to get him where we got him honestly, pair

680
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 18: of guys.

681
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 22: Probably, But does he remind you of anybody you played with.

682
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 23: Or anybody you've been around.

683
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 18: I don't like to like compare guys like that, but yeah,

684
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 18: I don't know. He's I mean, he's super instinctive. I mean,

685
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 18: to me, a guy that stands out and maybe this

686
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 18: is too much, is like Luke Keikley, a guy like that,

687
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 18: just an instinctive player, not the stereotype him.

688
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 24: But you know, the new kickoffer was obviously with some tweets,

689
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 24: But how much more like new do you think you're

690
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 24: gonna see in terms of the way the teams maybe

691
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 24: go about that play specifically, Not that you're gonna get

692
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 24: away to hear.

693
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 10: Guys true secrets, but are you sort of anticipate in

694
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 10: some other new ways to go up.

695
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 18: Yeah, so they made a change with the formation. You're

696
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 18: you're able to have another guy off the off the

697
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 18: thirty five yard line, but he so you can have

698
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 18: a guy outside the hash off the off the thirty five.

699
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 18: I got inside the hash off the thirty five, and

700
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 18: then a guy outside the hash on the other thirty five,

701
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 18: So off the thirty five, so you're allowed to have

702
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 18: three players that are not on the thirty five yard line,

703
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 18: but they each have to be in a separate zone.

704
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 18: You could see a little bit more variation there. I

705
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 18: think that, like I said before, I think there's gonna

706
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 18: be a high, high, high percent of kicks that are

707
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 18: return so.

708
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: All Pro guard Joel Buttonio spoke on entering his twelfth

709
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: NFL season.

710
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 21: Yeah, the body's held up good in camp. You know,

711
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 21: I think we've got a good plan for it. But

712
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 21: I feel good. You know, we'll see once we start

713
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 21: playing sixty seventy plays a week, you know how it

714
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 21: holds up. But right now I'm in a good spot

715
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 21: and I'm feeling good looking forward to the season.

716
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 9: Love, I just talked, I'm going to.

717
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 17: Try to just talk to about make you feel like

718
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 17: there's a culture shift and there's guys holding each other

719
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 17: kind of hole more so on the on the player side.

720
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 9: How do you feel that has kind of shifted this.

721
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 21: Offseason this Yeah, the energy has been great. I think

722
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 21: the mindset that the work we put in this camp,

723
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 21: being around the guys, like I feel, we have a

724
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 21: good group of guys that are that are working, you know,

725
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 21: and pushing each other and so it's been good. You know,

726
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 21: we haven't really dealt with too much adversity yet, so

727
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 21: it's easy, you know sometimes when you're just in camp

728
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 21: and stuff.

729
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 8: But we'll see how it goes as the season goes on.

730
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 13: Well, obviously a premiere pass rusher that they have since

731
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 13: he lines up mostly on that lap side. Like, what's

732
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 13: the challenge for for Delawned and that?

733
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I know it doesn't follow one person.

734
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, big test.

735
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 21: No, he's led the league in sacks, you know, I

736
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 21: think the last couple of years. He's he's a great player,

737
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 21: and you know, he re signed, so he's back in there.

738
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 21: But no, it's it's a huge challenge. I think we

739
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 21: have to know where our help is. You know, I

740
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 21: think you're gonna try and get chips, You're gonna try

741
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 21: and slide his way. You're gonna try and and make

742
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 21: plays for him. You know, hopefully he can run the

743
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 21: ball to keep him from those pass rushing situations. But

744
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 21: it's really focused on our fundamentals and you know, knowing

745
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 21: his premiere moves, he's gonna power, he's gonna work inside,

746
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 21: he's gonna you know, work an edgy but he plays

747
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 21: so hard like you have to match his energy as well.

748
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 8: That's kind of where it starts.

749
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that he hasn't gotten more run from the

750
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

751
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 9: Over the last couple of years.

752
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean I think he's been up there, you know,

753
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 21: and I think it's you know, I mean, I think

754
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 21: he's in that category, you know.

755
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 8: I mean you have some elite, elite.

756
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 21: Edge rushers with with you know, Miles and Mike and

757
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 21: him and some of those other guys. I think some

758
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 21: of those are war are like best defense as well,

759
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 21: you know, So if your defense hasn't performed as well,

760
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 21: then it's hard to be like, oh yeah, you know,

761
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 21: player of the year on that side of the ball.

762
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 20: So you've talked about, you know, coming back and you know,

763
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 20: getting back to what you guys did under Kevin or

764
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 20: IDUs early years here.

765
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 13: It's one thing like to you know, hear it be

766
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 13: told that.

767
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 9: It's another thing to feel it.

768
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 8: Yeah.

769
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 11: Have you been able to feel that throughout you know,

770
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 11: the off season program into training camp, Like you guys

771
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 11: are getting back to that blocking scheme they made just

772
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 11: so good up front.

773
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think the installs you know, you put in

774
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 21: the plays that you've ran in the past.

775
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 8: You're like, all right, and.

776
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 21: They pull up the clips to show you where the

777
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 21: installs are and it's twenty and twenty one or twenty

778
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 21: two or twenty and then you're like, all right, we're

779
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 21: getting back to it. But then you run the plays

780
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 21: in camp and practice. You know, we haven't got a

781
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 21: full game of everybody out there feeling it, but it

782
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 21: definitely definitely has resemblance of that. So we're in't a

783
00:36:59,160 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 21: good spot.

784
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 7: I know you don't hear the noise, but the noise

785
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 7: is that this is one of the worst teams in

786
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 7: the league.

787
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 9: How do you react to that.

788
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 8: The Browns are the worst one of the receipts?

789
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 21: Oh yeah, well, we gotta play games right like like

790
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 21: we're oh oh like every other team right now, and uh,

791
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 21: we had a chance to try and go one another

792
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 21: this week. I know the work we put in, I

793
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 21: know the guys and the players we have on our team,

794
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 21: and we're gonna go out there and compete and and luckily, uh,

795
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 21: you know, week zero, week one power rankings don't really matter,

796
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 21: so we'll uh, we'll be all right.

797
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 2: I think in some ways that Joe is forty years

798
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: old and going out and it has anything like that

799
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 2: and can still and move the way that he does

800
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: and if he's ready to start being.

801
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 21: Guys in Yeah, it's impressive, you know because I feel

802
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 21: old at times and it's like, oh, let's get six

803
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 21: years older than me in football years. And so it's

804
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 21: very cool to see him going. Every time he makes

805
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 21: one of those strows, I'm like, oh, he saw. The

806
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 21: arm has not left him, you know, he still has

807
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 21: that arm and he sells that ability to move around round.

808
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 21: There's a couple of times in practice where he was

809
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 21: like one of the faster guys out there, you know,

810
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 21: in the in the mid position, and it's like, ah,

811
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 21: he's still he still loves playing the game and he

812
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 21: sells that passion.

813
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 8: So we're we're happy to have him chill.

814
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 23: We were just talking Abobba and you're just talking about

815
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 23: the culture and how he feels like it's just different

816
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 23: this year. And as somebody who's a vetter on this team,

817
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 23: he's seen a lot of iterations of rosters, coaches, cultures,

818
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 23: all those things. Do you guys kind of feel that

819
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 23: as players as well, the things are a.

820
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 17: Little bit different.

821
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, we feel good or I think like I I

822
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 21: I kind of said a little earlier, like it's easy

823
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 21: when things are going easy, Like how is the culture

824
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 21: gonna hold up if you lose a game or when

825
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 21: things go bad or or something needs to be said.

826
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 8: But where we're at right now, I think guys are

827
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 8: pushing each other, holding each other accountable.

828
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 21: And in the group of guys and here, what I've

829
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 21: seen in the preseason is is gonna play hard.

830
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 8: It's gonna do the right thing. And so we're pumped

831
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 8: about that. Did Jo, who's the other side.

832
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 22: Of football the cursion stortioners a spot as.

833
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 9: A rookie, calls a how impressive you been.

834
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 21: By just to kind of jump into yeah, it's been great.

835
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 21: You know, he kind of got thrown in like you said.

836
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 21: And I think he's he's run with it, like he's

837
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 21: made so many plays in practice and in the games

838
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 21: he's made tackles I think every time he's played. But

839
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 21: I even think like the week before, like camp started,

840
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 21: he was here like walking through like doing those things,

841
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 21: like he I think was preparing for it before it

842
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 21: was even his opportunity. And he's really, uh, that's some

843
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 21: big things. But I'm excited for him because I think

844
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 21: he's put in the work and he's ready to help,

845
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 21: you know, lead the defense, like.

846
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 23: How the offs.

847
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 21: He hasn't just seen that what you guys.

848
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 5: Can do your taxes.

849
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 21: Yeah, we gotta win our you know, our blocks are

850
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 21: one eleven, So we got to go out there and

851
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 21: push and and try and make those plays. But we've

852
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 21: worked on it, and you worked those comp box, you

853
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 21: work those double teams, and it's been good. It's been good.

854
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 21: I think we got to see it, you know what

855
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 21: I mean. But but from what you practice when we've

856
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 21: done it's it's been a good start.

857
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: Rookie linebacker Carson Swessinger talked about his confidence going into

858
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: his first NFL game.

859
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 9: You are as well prepared as you can be for

860
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 9: your first game.

861
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 25: I think so.

862
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 26: I think obviously we still have what is it, today's Thursday,

863
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 26: three more days, so uh, there's definitely room to keep

864
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 26: preparing through that and and I think going into the

865
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 26: game will be will be well prepared.

866
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's been the toughest part of the transition for you,

867
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 22: and you obviously coming in as a rookie, being cabled

868
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 22: a bunch of responsibilities right.

869
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 25: Out of your tap.

870
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 26: I think you know all of it's been tough in

871
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 26: terms of learning the defense, learning you know, the offenses

872
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 26: we're going against and and things like that. But you know,

873
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 26: having the guys around me and the coaches to to

874
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 26: be able to help make that transition smooth and easy

875
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 26: has been great.

876
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 9: Carson, how much different is uh? The game kind of

877
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 9: praffit in the NFL player I remember talking about like

878
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 9: they kind of much.

879
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 26: I like it because I don't have school and so

880
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 26: all my focus is just on the game.

881
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 5: Uh.

882
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 26: There, there's definitely a little bit more and there's some differences,

883
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 26: but you know, like I said, no school, I'm I'm happy.

884
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 24: That's a work.

885
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 13: He's just like, how excited are you that first game?

886
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 13: First time out there is a division opponent and you're

887
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 13: at home, just to get a taste of that.

888
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 25: Oh yeah, I'm excited.

889
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 26: I'm excited, especially for it to be at home and

890
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 26: and get a taste of that and and and the

891
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 26: dog pound and and see what that's all about.

892
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's just about this this ban of offense and

893
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 22: for h and what have you learned about that?

894
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean they're a good offense and going to

895
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 26: the game, we're gonna have to be prepared and and

896
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 26: you know, uh play our style of defense that we want.

897
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 25: To play, be physical and play fast and it should

898
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 25: work out.

899
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 20: That's the way he likes to get them all down

900
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 20: the field to is exposed and receivers. What's most important

901
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 20: for you to to really focus on and make sure

902
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 20: that you're really keyed on.

903
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 25: Yeah, I think I think big thing for us is

904
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 25: we got to be able to tackle.

905
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 26: You know, they they can make a lot of plays

906
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 26: after after the catch, and if we're able to get

907
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 26: them down, that's that's you know, one of the big

908
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 26: goals is to be able to get those guys.

909
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 25: Down when we get hands on them.

910
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 17: In the other season, how did you just been to

911
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 17: prepare for the responsibility whenever it would come, or had

912
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 17: agreed done your comedies and how did you just kind

913
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 17: of prepare yourself for.

914
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 9: That role whenever two years?

915
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 26: I think it was just a matter of trying to

916
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 26: understand the defense as best they could so whenever the

917
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 26: opportunity came, I'd be able to handle it and you know,

918
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 26: there wouldn't there wouldn't be any setbacks or anything like that. Obviously,

919
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 26: I've I've made mistakes and I've learned and stuff, but

920
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 26: just being able to go.

921
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 25: Out there and you know, understand the whole defense person.

922
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 17: I think it was last week Jerome Baker told us, like,

923
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 17: if you like football, this is the guy where youth,

924
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 17: this is the guy that just given up the game

925
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 17: loves fall.

926
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 9: Have you always been like that? Have you've always been

927
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 9: obsessed with that interurance?

928
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 25: I think so.

929
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 26: I've been playing it since I was five, And you know,

930
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 26: whether it was me and my brother in the backyard

931
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 26: or you know, organize football, whatever it is.

932
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 25: I love going out there and playing.

933
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 17: What's been fun to kind of get around these guys

934
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 17: to be able to pick their brainer?

935
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 26: Oh yeah, I think I've asked probably too many people

936
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 26: what they what they like to do in a game

937
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 26: week and how they watch film just to you know,

938
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 26: try and get bits and pieces from everybody and and

939
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 26: really take and, like you said, pick their brains.

940
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 25: And you know, the guys who've.

941
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 26: Been here and and been there and done it and understand,

942
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 26: you know, uh, how they prepare.

943
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 13: How was the you know, studying for the game plan

944
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 13: for this upcoming game change from when you were a child, lad?

945
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 13: And now what's the day to day look like for you?

946
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 26: I think you know, it's just a matter of schedules

947
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 26: a little bit different, but you know, in terms of

948
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 26: trying to understand the game plan and and go through

949
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 26: go throughout the progressions of what we're what we're trying

950
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 26: to do on on certain downs and things like that,

951
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 26: has been pretty similar in terms of just making sure

952
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 26: I understand what's going on each one.

953
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 7: Do you have any pre game superfici and traditions that

954
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 7: you do?

955
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 8: Not really.

956
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 26: I think the only thing I'll do every game before

957
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 26: the game is text my mom, But that's about it,

958
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 26: just to shoot her a text. She's usually at the

959
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 26: game too. I think she's barely missed any Yeah, she'll

960
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 26: be here. So as long as she gets that, she's

961
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 26: happy to.

962
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 25: Uh.

963
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 26: I think my dad and and I think my brother

964
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 26: a mom.

965
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 11: Uh.

966
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 25: My family's always at every game.

967
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 26: I think my dad didn't miss a single He still

968
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 26: hasn't missed a single game I played on, which is pretty.

969
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 10: Cool, of course.

970
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:12,959
Speaker 8: And I know you weren't here, but you can't.

971
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 22: How to talk about getting this team back to where

972
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 22: played defensively in twenty twenty three? How much does coach

973
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 22: Schwartz harp on that does he at all? And what

974
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 22: is he really emphasizing with this group this year.

975
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 26: I think this year, uh, what we really wanna do

976
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 26: is be physical, play fast, and you know, I have

977
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 26: some have some fun while we're playing. I think if

978
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 26: you do those three things, you're gonna be able to,

979
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 26: uh make plays.

980
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 25: On the defensive side of the ball and and be

981
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 25: the type of defense that that we wanna be.

982
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 14: And how is coach Schwartz rubbed off on here?

983
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 26: Oh, I mean he's hammered down those three things and

984
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 26: you know, made sure. Obviously we wanna you know, handle

985
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 26: handle what we're supposed to do on the field and

986
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 26: be in the right spots and things.

987
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 25: But as long as you're doing those three things and

988
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 25: really being physical, uh, you're doing good.

989
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 9: Story another game and just you me and such like

990
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 9: the football drinks you are.

991
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 4: Is there any story that anything it's kind of totally

992
00:44:58,400 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 4: it's really nice stuck.

993
00:44:59,160 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 9: Out to you that you read.

994
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 26: Yeah, there's been actually, I mean probably too many now

995
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 26: uh stories every day and and they're all things that

996
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 26: you know, you take basic pieces from that are good

997
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 26: of Courson.

998
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 10: Have you had any s's a chance to just kind

999
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 10: of sort of before the season gets going, your first season,

1000
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 10: just think about like your journey from walk on to

1001
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 10: you know, scholarship players or NFL drafts.

1002
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 23: And now you're green dot on an NFL team about to.

1003
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 7: Play for the stuff.

1004
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 25: Yeah, I think I don't know if I've taken 'em.

1005
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 25: I probably m should maybe take a moment to think

1006
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 25: about it.

1007
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 26: But but really I'm just excited to to keep going

1008
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 26: and and and continuing that and and seeing where it

1009
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 26: takes me. And I'm you know, excited to to get

1010
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 26: the first game under my bill.

1011
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 10: Now you said you've been a football at dads, it's

1012
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 10: you know, you played your first game.

1013
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 13: You always the emotions are playing these games shapes for

1014
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 13: you know, when you're in eight getting ready for a

1015
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 13: potmarn game to now getting ready for your first NFL game.

1016
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 26: Honestly, it really hasn't changed too much. I'm I'm excited

1017
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 26: to get out there and go play football. I think

1018
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 26: it's been the same. I was thinking about it the

1019
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 26: other day. It's been the same since I was eight

1020
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 26: years old. At you know, once the game starts, that's

1021
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 26: all I care about. And and you know, uh, you know,

1022
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 26: it's a fun time.

1023
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: Finally, safety Grant delp It talked about going against the

1024
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: strong Cincinnati Bengals receiving court.

1025
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 9: Well, couldn't couldn't the start it against him? He's a

1026
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 9: tougher offense, I guess. And now do you like it?

1027
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 9: Just increased starting off from Arduus?

1028
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 14: Yeah? You know the team were from we're familiar with

1029
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 14: you know, they're familiar with us. We know what they do.

1030
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 14: So is it it's it's it's good to start with

1031
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 14: a division game.

1032
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 4: It's gonna be high in intensity, you know, be flying around.

1033
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 2: Joe girl seems to be going into a season nice

1034
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 2: and healthy.

1035
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,959
Speaker 18: Uh what have you seen so far from him?

1036
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: And they're so determined to start fascinating where you.

1037
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 25: Guys are too?

1038
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 9: What do you see Joe so far?

1039
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 18: Uh?

1040
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 4: Sam old Joe, you know he's he's a good player man,

1041
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 4: very familiar with his game.

1042
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 14: You know, I know he didn't I don't know.

1043
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 4: I don't think he had a that good of a

1044
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 4: game versus Washington in the preseason, so I know he's

1045
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 4: probably set about that. But uh yeah, you know, I

1046
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: know he's gonna be after they game plan to be

1047
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 4: ready and do what they do.

1048
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 14: Throw the ball.

1049
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 9: Where do they think you guys match up against them?

1050
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 8: So?

1051
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 7: What I mean even in they're wins that scored in

1052
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,439
Speaker 7: Washington their average.

1053
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 4: I think, cause, uh, you know, we prot ourselves on

1054
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 4: playing man and stopping the run. So you know, we

1055
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 4: know this as a passing team, and we know that

1056
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 4: they know that we play man. So you know it

1057
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 4: is what it is. We line up in and and

1058
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 4: shut 'em down. In the secondary end, it presults, it

1059
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 4: produces good results for us.

1060
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 14: You know we do that, right.

1061
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 9: You talk about how you know you really wanna show

1062
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 9: up that you're all.

1063
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: Kind of players, so the speed everything just really uh you.

1064
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 14: Have a career season.

1065
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: So if they had happen, what's we need to see

1066
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 2: out there?

1067
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 6: Uh?

1068
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 5: Team to watch the bar?

1069
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 4: I think i'm'a just be all around the field, all

1070
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 4: around the ball. Honestly, you know, it's only one ball

1071
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 4: in the field, so h try to be around it

1072
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 4: as much as I can to put it in simple terms.

1073
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 4: But as like like a I said, I don't think

1074
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 4: I've been doing enough for the team. So you know,

1075
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 4: I gotta make more players, gotta get the ball back

1076
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 4: for Joe and them to go drive down the offense.

1077
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 12: Man score and what have you done in the off

1078
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 12: season to to try to increase your takeaways and interceptions

1079
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 12: and all that kind of stuff for everybody.

1080
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 9: What do you feel the defense used to do? I

1081
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 9: can't worry a couple of years away.

1082
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, that has a big part to do to to

1083
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,200
