1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: How are you feeling.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 2: How long did it take you to get over the

3
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 2: back stuff that you were dealing with at the end

4
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 2: of last season.

5
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Any procedures, No, no procedures.

6
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 3: Medical staff here, Ronnie and everyone took a great care

7
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: of me, did a great job rehabbed all off season,

8
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 3: and I'm out here flying around.

9
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: I just feel happy and blessed play football.

10
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: Scary was that injury?

11
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: From what I heard, it was, yeah, pretty scary disc injury.

12
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: I was feeling some nerve and couldn't really sit for

13
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. You know, it's a type of

14
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: injury you need to come back better or worse from.

15
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: So I just feel fortunate with the medical staff. Training

16
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: staff here took good, real good care of me, and

17
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 3: I feel back and better than ever.

18
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 4: When I could see you were moving out there with

19
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 4: a renewed sense of bigger if you will.

20
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you feel better in your step fens you

21
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: feel what's your mindset going?

22
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you two in the same system. I don't think

23
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: I've had that since my second year in the league,

24
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: So I'm exciting. I've been studying a lot this offseason.

25
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm on a good mental page with

26
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: Shane of how he wants to all the plays and

27
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: you know, everybody's communication out there.

28
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: So it's it's fun. You know, less think and more playing.

29
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 5: When you sit down in the off season, right and

30
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 5: you're getting yourself right, and they sign a starting quarterback,

31
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 5: he signed a starting safety, They draft whatever you want

32
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 5: to call a duel, you know, whatever however.

33
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: You want to put him. Yeah, and you're thinking, you're

34
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: at the centerpiece, You're at the center of balls. What

35
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: are you thinking. I'm excited. You know.

36
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: It just shows the emphasis to the front office putting on

37
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: this defense. Uh, the championships that this organization has won. Uh,

38
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: they've talked about, you know how prolific those defenses are.

39
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 3: So uh, that's where we're starting those building blocks, sending

40
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: the foundation for that.

41
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: Now, give any early impressions at duel.

42
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: I told him today he looks quick and I mean

43
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 3: obviously he's going to be a very dominant pass rusher. So, uh,

44
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: the the tandem of him Burns and Caveon. I'm very

45
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: excited to see how much.

46
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: You said, make your job easy. You're having those guys

47
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: upfront a lot.

48
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: You know, the quarterback, he's only going to be able

49
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: to get to his first or second read because they're

50
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: going to be breathing down his neck pretty soon.

51
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: So it'll be a lot of fun.

52
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: Healthy And in the year or two of the defense,

53
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 2: can you be as disruptive as you were in twenty

54
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: twenty I play is play and not their stats, but

55
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: your box score is filled in twenty twenty three.

56
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Can you play like that again? Yeah?

57
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe. So that's that's the type of player

58
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: I am. That's the type of player they brought me

59
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: in here to be a guy who's filling up, like

60
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: you said, the stat sheet, forced fumbles, PBUs, fumble coveries, picks,

61
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: all that. So I'm just excited to kind of immerse

62
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: myself in this defense, immerse myself with the players here,

63
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: so you know, I can go out there and play free.

64
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: As a leader on this key.

65
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: What does it mean that everybody is here.

66
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: For OG I mean, it just shows the continuity the

67
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: organization top down. Everybody's got the same goal in mind,

68
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: and you know, nobody's nobody's too big for this moment,

69
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: and everybody's just decided to play football.

70
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: You were in Indy when you guys change quarterbacks like every.

71
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: Year, yep.

72
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you've been through this where like it's a

73
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: totally different quarterback room. How long will it take you

74
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: guys adapt to them then to deput And I know

75
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: you're in different sadable about leadership wise, you know, just

76
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: kind of quarterbacks.

77
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: The main guy on the team for sure.

78
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: I mean I can't say enough about Russ and even

79
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: Jamis the presence they are in this locker room, the

80
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: leadership they bring, the maturity they bring, uh, just the

81
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: vets that they are and you know, the respect they

82
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: have in this league. I think Russ is one of

83
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: five quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl and have ten

84
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: Pro Bowls, So there's a certain aura he's got about him.

85
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're we're all very excited.

86
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 5: You you played against Russ, and you know, as long

87
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 5: as you've been in the league, he's been in the league.

88
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Obviously.

89
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: Is there anything that you've seen in these couple of

90
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 5: weeks that say, hum, I didn't know I knew that

91
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 5: about Russ?

92
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: You know, I mean you never get to know the

93
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: man you obviously play against him, but just the leader

94
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: he is, how personable he is with everybody in the

95
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: locker room, and and just his mentality he's tapping up

96
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: guys that he's not even in position groups with, and

97
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: so you see the emphasis he puts on leadership and

98
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: you know team building.

99
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: Obviously, who's been a captain recruiting his team. How is

100
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: like having him his personality on the steading someone who's

101
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: loud fors just kind of imagine that way you are.

102
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: A little bit.

103
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's great. Gavan is incredibly smart and he's

104
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: a leader. You know, we're in the walkthroughs, he's telling

105
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: guys to huddle, bring it up. His communication is a one.

106
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: So he's another great addition that I think is gonna

107
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: make our defense even better.

108
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: What do you think when when the team brought in Paulson?

109
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Obviously I went to yeah, no, I love that.

110
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: You know, Paulton's like a brother of mine, honestly, being

111
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: a Stanford guy a couple off seasons we roomed together.

112
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: But he's a playmaker.

113
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: He's a guy who gets picked, he's a guy who

114
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: gets pbu's and he's got the flies around and tackles

115
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: as a corner. So very excited to play against him,

116
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: play with him.

117
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: Did you have some recruiting in that, like did you

118
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: recommend pault into the front office.

119
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Or a little bit.

120
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: I mean I think they asked me for some references

121
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: for sure, but you know they obviously did their due

122
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: diligence and pulsing is in.

123
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: When you met Paulson just kind of like when to scamper, Like,

124
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: did you guys ever talk about, like, man, what did

125
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 4: you like we got to the league or even thought

126
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: about what if you played on the same team like

127
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 4: like those stamp for days.

128
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: Now it's here.

129
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 3: I know, I don't even think we could have imagined

130
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: this opportunity. I think we both look at each other,

131
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: you know, during walkthroughs and during the plays, and it's

132
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: surreal that we're even playing on the same team.

133
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: So I'm excited.

134
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: I still remember his freshman year he had a diving,

135
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: one handed interception against Cal Berkeley and we were like, bro,

136
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: this is the greatest football player ever, So you know,

137
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: to play with him in the league, it's pretty surreal.

138
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: Can he take pressure off?

139
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: I don't feel like pressure needs to be taken off Deante,

140
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 3: but I feel like both of them out there are

141
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: going to be a very very good tandem.

142
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 5: You as a guy in an each side linebacker, run

143
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 5: defenses near near in your heart, Yeah, it's not good.

144
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 5: It's I'm sure you don't think we're talking to what

145
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 5: happened last year with it, and why do you think.

146
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: It might be better this year? Yeah?

147
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: I mean I think it speaks to be in your

148
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: two in the system. You know, run defense, it's mentality,

149
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: it's pride, but it's also understanding. So if everybody understands

150
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: exactly where they're fitting on the snap, then you go

151
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: play with your physicality, you go play with your mental

152
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: fortitude exactly. But if you're hesitant, if you don't necessarily

153
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 3: know if this guy's fitting in this gap or this

154
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: guy's fitting over here, it'll make you a step slow.

155
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: And I mean that's that's a couple of yards in

156
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: this league. So I feel like you're two in this system.

157
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: You know, everybody being on the same page with the

158
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,080
