This 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.960 is like he said, this is like football heaven. You know, 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:51.720 I said, like I said, coach, I think I said 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.040 that before. I've said that quote, Jerry, you remember that one. 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:55.240 This is like football heaven. 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:55.360 Here. 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.680 You got these trees around here, the setting, there's no 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.040 there's no fences, there's no traffic. You know, there's a 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.440 little construction, but that's not gonna last forever. Did you 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.280 guys hear did you get the fumes during practice? 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:06.640 The tar? 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:08.680 The tar? That was part of our strategy. 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.560 You want the guys to go to, you know, play 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.600 no huddle when they're tired with tar fumes in their face. 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.160 You never know when that could happen. But the construction 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.080 Whiting Turn is doing a great job. And then we 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.520 got doctor Z here today.

And then we went down there last 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.040 off season off of an offensive staff as Monk and 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.560 I and George gotsee and spent some time with him 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.760 down there.

Uh 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:39.720 when I was coming in and he was he was 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.160 going out to be the head coach of the Raiders. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.240 Got to know him a little bit, just utmost respect. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.240 What he gave him a locker you gave him here. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.520 Did you give him the playbook? 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:49.880 No, we didn't give the playbook. We didn't give a 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.880 script either. You know, only goes so far. You know 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.000 you gotta draw the line somewhere. Good, good question. 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.400 What what did he see? You know? Some some terms of 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:58.880 looking at you guys visit So I. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.960 Didn't say to share just to give you a general overview. 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.160 He studied us, you know, and basically the message was, 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.280 you know, if I was game planning against you your defense, 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.440 what would I do and how would I attack you guys? 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.840 And he didn't just stop there. He watched our offensive guys, 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.240 He talked to our offensive guys, looked at all the players, 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.640 had something for each player, just you know, phenomenal and 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:18.880 very very detailed. 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.040 Great teacher too. 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:28.000 Moders, Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. He Yeah, 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.560 he was grinding pretty good on some guys. You know, 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.440 he was letting he was letting them know where they 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.440 can get better, which I respect him. I think a 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.120 great coach is not afraid to tell people where they 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:37.920 can improve and don't don't don't every doesn't. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.680 Every player want to know that, you know. 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.480 And he has so much respect for guys and and 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.120 still at the same time letting them know that, hey, 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.279 this is what I see you can improve at. 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.800 Aaron kind of just your reaction of having hair Rodgers. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.840 In the division, I really don't have a reaction. 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.120 I mean just respect, you know, respect for respect for 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.880 the Steelers, obviously, respect for the h the team that 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.560 they have, the coaches that they have, uh the head coach, 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.560 coach Tomlin. And then obviously we've always respected Aaron Rodgers 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.720 as a player. I mean he's Hall of Fame quarterback. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:11.600 So we'll have to go against the hall of fame 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.160 quarterback with uh with one of the premier teams in 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:15.800 the league, you know, and who happens to be our 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.000 arch rival, So we'll be preparing for that. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.000 Speaking about contract extension and mentioned. 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.320 How he hopes to kind of create a new era 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.920 for wide receiver meeting and reception in Baltimore. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.720 What does it meaning is seeing him get that contract in. 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.160 Just his desire and the success that he's had as 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.640 a draftive wide receiver meetings with there, well, it means 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.400 a lot, you know. And he's uh, him and Zay 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.600 I think both have done so well as drafted wide 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:45.400 receivers here first round picks. To see those guys be successful, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.600 to see where Shod be successful. I just I love him, 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.240 always have from day one. I think he's always been 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.480 so determined, he just wants so badly to be great 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.520 and h and to watch him grow these last couple 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.000 of years the way he has to where he's at now. 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.440 And I really believe where he's going ago, just looking 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.960 for him to continue to to just like a rocket 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.039 ship man take off. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.279 Got me another chance to talk to Chuck a Donner yesterday. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.880 Now that he's been here, back here for a few months. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.839 Now, what's it been like, Because it was a long 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.480 time ago when he was here, how have you kind 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.680 of seem not necessarily changed, but maybe evolve as a 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:17.520 coach compared. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:18.000 To how he was back then. 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.120 Yeah, Luke, the days are long, but the years is short. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.600 You know, it seems just like yesterday, you know, when 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.600 Chuck was here. But it's been great. Chuck has never 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.600 changed in the sense he's always just been a great guy, 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.840 high enthusiasm, enthusiasm unknown to mankind, kind of a coach, 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:37.440 kind of a person, family man, leader, friend. The players 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.839 have really attached themselves to him in a great way 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.120 from the back end, and and I think Zach as well. 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.920 I mean, those guys are getting along great. And Chuck 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.080 just wants to He just wants to help this team 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.640 be the best team it could be in that secondary 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.160 to play at the highest level of can it's all 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:55.400 he cares about. So it's just great to hapen backle. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.719 More out here. Since the I think it was the 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.960 second oga that we were the first one. We were 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.280 at the second one last week. Did you expect that? 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.320 Is it to your knowledge? Is it just Lamar being 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.520 Lamar and just choosing to not be or is it 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:07.600 contract related. 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.599 Or yeah, I'm not taking any position on it's judge, 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.040 you get whatever. Lamar the day he was out here 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.800 played great. I could see he was in great shape, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.080 through the ball, great, made the reads, new the offense 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.960 excellent in an excellent kind of way. I thought he 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.159 was fantastic. And when he comes back in practices, when 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.560 that happens, I expect him to play. 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:24.960 At that level. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.760 That's what you measure. You measure for any player, it's 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.039 how they play. I'm not measuring, you know, really the attendance. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.520 I mean it's a voluntary camp, you know, So measuring that. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.680 I mean I love being out here, and I think 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.240 all the players do. And when Lamar's out here, I 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.640 promise you he loves being out here. You could see 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.800 it when he was out here. So he's my guy. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.640 I love him and I can't wait to I can't 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.360 wait to just get into this season and get going. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.720 John we uc Kane. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:50.960 Make a few players on the ball. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.440 What role do you envision him and Bo Brady playing 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:54.200 this season? 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.359 And do you think you're gonna add another safety before 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:56.880 training camp? 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.680 Yeah? I envisioned those guys stepping up. I mean they 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.680 have to, you know, and they have in training camps 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.039 or in in Ota so far. Heading into the mini camp, 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.000 they're gonna have to prove it. They're gonna have to 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.000 earn it. And uh, there's always the possibility bringing someone in. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.480 I mean that's what we do, you know, So we'll 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.280 see where that goes. But I think those guys are 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:15.120 doing a great job. 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.440 Come to keep the train a little bit. What did 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.240 you see from him now two years from from that improvement? 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:23.640 Yeah, he looks good. 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:24.880 I mean he looks way better than he did at 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.280 the end of last season, I think, just as far 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.960 as movement. Uh so, Uh, you know, I got high hopes. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.520 I'm not gonna lie. I would never lie. 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.320 Never lie. Might not tell you everything, never lie. H 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.040 But I have high hopes for him, you know, I 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.080 expect him to I expect him to be really good. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.600 We're also talking to Nate Wiggins today. What have you 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.720 seen now and coming to the second season out of 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.000 Nate and his development. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:49.080 At this office. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:51.120 Well he saw him today. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.280 Right, when you have a pick and a key breakup 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.240 and a critical situation, expect him to be locked in 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.800 and focused on on the little things, you know, rain 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.640 drops make oceans.
