1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, how are you. I'm well, I'm well. So 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: you've you've been certainly vocal in practice. We can hear 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: you all the way in the bleachers. How are you 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: adjusting right now? Just to the role you have and 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: the leadership responsibility that it seems like you're taking. I 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: would say being a linebacker in general, it involves a 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: lot of communication, and us as a defense period, we 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: communicate a whole lot. So um, it's a piece to 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: the puzzle and a piece that's very valuable to our defense. 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: So um, me being a linebacker, I kind of gotta 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: that comes with the territory. And uh, it's obviously it's 12 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: a it's a young group right now, it's in the 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: linebacker room. What are your impressions to some of the 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: rookies Josh Uche and Cash Molly and so far, everybody's everybody. 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: We all getting to know each other a little bit. Um. 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: We're working day in the day out to get better. 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: Everybody's smart, everybody brings different qualities to the table. So 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: now we're just piecing it all together and we're excited 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: to continue to work and staff these days together. Thank you. 20 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: Next question Levin read oh By Mike Giardi a joan, 21 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: thank you for doing this. I have to ask you, 22 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: how exciting has this week been? Where you get a 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: chance to hit, you get a chance to go through 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: different skills and different plans and kind of put body 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: and hat on hat on guys. It's really exciting, especially 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: because we didn't have the opportunity to do OTAs and 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: many camping things like that, so you hadn't seen some 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: of your guys for a long period of time. So 29 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: getting back out there and seeing everybody, that's the joy 30 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: in itself, and then throwing on the path. It's kind 31 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: of like icing on the cake, to be honest, because 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: you just kind of excited. It's been a while, so 33 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: we just knocked the dusk off a little bit and 34 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: we're excited about it. Do you like the idea you 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: get a chance to see guys maybe that you didn't 36 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: know they have the trash talking going on, and it 37 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: kind of raises the compete level of everybody in the room. 38 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: I feel like that comes with a little bit people's 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: playing style. A lot of guys have that and the 40 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: arsenal trash talking as a piece of it. So whatever 41 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: you got, bring it to the table. We're excited about it. Joan, 42 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: As you mentioned about being vocal and that's part of 43 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: the linebacker. But I'm just curious, what do you take 44 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: from your time spell with Dante High Tower and how 45 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: do you feel like that maybe is helping you here 46 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: as you're sort of transition into being the I guess 47 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: the old guy in the room now being with being 48 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: with Hot Tower and all the other linebackers that I 49 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: would had had the opportunity to be with. Obviously you 50 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: take bits and pieces from their game and add it 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: to yours. Great people, I mean I constantly constantly kind 52 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: of picked use guys brain. I think I spoke on 53 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: that earlier in my career, is speaking on the amount 54 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: of vest that we had, an amount of knowledge that's 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: at your disposal and experience. So having those guys around 56 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: you definitely take bits and pieces from them. And now 57 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: we're just kind of moving forward with it. But obviously 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: those guys are still around and he's still able to 59 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: talk to him. We always hear when you know, younger 60 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: guys come in the league about maybe sometimes the speech 61 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: to the game mentally, you know, and as an adjustment 62 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: period there do you feel like now at this point 63 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: in your career obviously several years in that it's it's 64 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: moving to get a good pace for you to see 65 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: and understand. I probably won't get too much into personal 66 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: growth and things like that, but I was like a 67 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: met thing. I look to attack every single day and uh, 68 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: as as a team we bring that to the table. 69 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: We look to attack the day and whatever we need 70 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: to get better as a unit. We're just pieces to 71 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: the puzzle. I mean, you need to eleven guys, but 72 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: personally you just look to perfect perfect your craft and 73 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: add your piece to the bigger puzzle, which is the 74 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: defense board of the team. And it looks like a 75 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: final question. It will have been volling. Go ahead, Ben, 76 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: thanks for doing this, Juan did to see you, um 77 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: curious being a defensive guy. What's been your impression of 78 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: playing across the ball from Cam Newton so far and 79 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: just what you've been impression of what type of player 80 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: he is through the first couple of weeks of knowing 81 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: him so far. Well, me personally, I'm just excited to 82 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: be on the field looking across from somebody. Just in general, 83 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: we go from not having ots in mini camp to 84 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: being out on the football fields. It's just any quarterback, 85 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: to be honest, obviously a judge, Stadim and Brown Hoyer 86 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: pieces to that puzzle too, But obviously if you deal 87 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: them with three great quarterbacks, we did them with a 88 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: great a great amount of talent on the offensive side 89 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: of the ball as well as the defensive side of 90 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: the ball. So every day we're just looking to kind 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: of get better. And obviously you're excited seeing all the 92 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: different guys you get to play with or play against 93 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: on a day to day basis, and us not have 94 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: a preseason games add ads that a little bit to 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: the puzzle also, but playing against the great quarterbacks every 96 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: single snap, for the most part, it's a great it's 97 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: a great opportunity. Has the tenor of practice changed much 98 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: without with three new quarterbacks in there more or less, 99 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: instead of Tom Brady being the guy you face every day, 100 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: we do. I think as far as the defense, we 101 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: really don't know if it's turning out so too much 102 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: with the offensive don we gotta do what we do 103 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. So for the 104 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: most part, I really can answer that question. Sure, Okay, 105 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: thanks a lot n
