1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. Players are in. It starts now.

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: A little bit more.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's been it's been really fun for me

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: personally to actually be around the guys right to.

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 3: Be doing a little bit of football. When you you know, you.

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Take a job coming from a position of only doing football,

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: and then you take a job in this position, you're

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: you're doing a little bit less of that. And so

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: today and really, uh, today for sure was a day

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: where I was able to get into the coaches meetings

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: with the players, hearing them communicate, us all communicating.

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 3: At a high level.

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: So that's what really matters, is when getting the players

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: get in and that's been a blast.

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: How would you want to see this sort of playout

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: over weeks?

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: I think right now we're trying to establish really two

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: things are the fundamentals and techniques of the schemes, right,

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: we're not truly diving into this scheme at the moment,

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: funundamentals and technique, and then as well, our culture, the

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: way that we're going to play the game, our style

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: of play. Those are the two things that would like

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: to be able to get out of this, especially in

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: phase one where you're not on the grass with the

26
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: players we're really installing our basic core fundamentals and principles

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: and techniques, and then also the culture, our style of play,

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: and our commitments as well.

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 5: You guys, you guys the option entrevon Are there any

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 5: plans with that on the wid right now.

31
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: To pick up the options?

32
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: No plans right now in terms of we're having those

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: conversations getting used to the player, right, We just got

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: to get used to them a little bit and get

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: to know them a little bit. We're excited about them

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: guy that we we see we can do some things with,

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: Like we do feel excited about some of his versatility

38
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: and experience. So some of those conversations they'll be open

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: and honest and communicated.

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: About this franchise you sent have.

41
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: Can you get that now?

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: That's a great We actually had that conversation today with

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: the players. Was I know that this is not a

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: physical time. It can't be and it isn't. But the

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: establishing of the mindset, the way that we're going to

46
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: do things the way that we wanted. The meetings, like

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: Coach Camp brought up today, our meetings should be tough, right,

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: Like we're learning new information. It's all very new for

49
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: everybody that's hard. It's hard to do for a coach,

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: for a player, it's hard to learn. So when you

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: do hard things and you come out on the other end,

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: usually you say, well I got tougher from that. So

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: we do believe that we can start to establish that.

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: You know, that was similar in Tampa last year. When

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: we got to the off season program and got into it,

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: you could start to see the toughness come out, and.

57
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: The way that we broke the huddle, the way that.

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: We communicated, the way that we actually ran off the ball.

59
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: You could see some of that stuff come to life.

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: You talked a little bit about the decision.

61
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: I think what No.

62
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 5: Top thirty is it's here that maybe a change in

63
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 5: philosophy of that.

64
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I can let James detail that a

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: little bit more. It's more so just, hey, we're trying

66
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: to keep everything that we're doing in house and you know,

67
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: trusting we'll do some things possibly virtually and things like

68
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: that with guys that we need to have another touch

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: point with, but ultimately it's not something that we're going

70
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: to be interested in doing at the moment.

71
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: Through the draft process now as a head Coutch just.

72
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: Pushing, Yeah, I mean, special teams matter, so you know,

73
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean, for you have to look at the whole, right,

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's starting anew for me in a

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: lot of ways. Right where you're you've been used to

76
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: evaluating offensive players, and then naturally, when you're evaluating offensive players,

77
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: defensive players shine, right, and you start to see that.

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: And then in recruiting and college you're recruiting defensive players

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: as well. But the whole entirety, how they fit into

80
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: the puzzle, the vision, what we're trying to establish, and

81
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: how those players end up fit into those situations.

82
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: It's different. It's just a different perspective.

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: It's great to listen to the collaboration between personnel and

84
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: coaching when it comes to some of these meetings. So

85
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: it's been great to listen. I've been doing a little

86
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: bit more listening than talking right now.

87
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: You find it.

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 6: Hard to strike a balance between marrying lining up in

89
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five, what's better for the franchise down the road, evaluate.

90
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: A draft prospective.

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think ultimately in this world that we're in,

92
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: it's what have you done lately?

93
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 7: Right?

94
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: What are you doing in the now in order to

95
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: show success in the show that we're going in the

96
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: right direction. So ultimately, you know, we have ten picks.

97
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: We're going to lean on some of those guys to

98
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: play early on and ultimately we can't be.

99
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 3: Afraid of that.

100
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: Right We had three of them in Tampa last year

101
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: play and have a lot of success for us. We

102
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: can't be afraid of that moment and to play some

103
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: young players.

104
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 3: So the goal is to get better quicker, right.

105
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: With having a vision to having long staying success, long

106
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: sustained success, that's important to us. But at the moment,

107
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: we're we're looking at winning right.

108
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: Now, the culture supporting thing for right now.

109
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the building, that's right. Yeah.

110
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: We had you know, a team meeting about rules and

111
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: regulations introductions.

112
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: We had a team meeting.

113
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: As well about our style of play first and foremost,

114
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: really before we dive into the culture, we're going to

115
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: dive into the way that we're going to play out

116
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: on the grass. We also had a culture meeting with

117
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: the entire building which was really cool where it was

118
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: all departments, everybody was involved and it was just a

119
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: cool way of getting together, establishing the communication lines and

120
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: how we want to do things and operate.

121
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: So it is very important at this moment in time

122
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: for us. Yeah, are you.

123
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 8: Putting Trevor on any kind of a news growing schedule

124
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 8: or anything like that for the spring.

125
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: He's been working on it himself right now in terms

126
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: of like monitoring that with the doctors and with Will

127
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: and ferging those guys downstairs. We haven't had anything to

128
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: do with it at the moment. As we lead in.

129
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: We're optimistic that we'll get there, you know, in terms

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: of where we need to go. He'll be on a

131
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: pitch count for those things, in terms of the where

132
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: he has to get to because he has little touch

133
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: points he needs to reach before he can obviously get

134
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: out onto the grass and do it full speed. Everything's

135
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: moving forward. He feels really good right now, so excited

136
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: about that.

137
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: Time your friends strength and conditioning staff.

138
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: I know with this Rosh's really not having.

139
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: Her hands on the tool right now.

140
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

141
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: I think it could be looked at it as a challenge.

142
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: I think it could also look it's like a blank

143
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: slate for these guys because there's no pre existing you know,

144
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: just thoughts about anybody. It's just hey man, this is

145
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: how we're doing it. These are the things that we're

146
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: gonna do while also gearing it towards at some point

147
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: here individual development plans for each player. So as we go,

148
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: we're setting the standards in the weight room, how we

149
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: want to operate. Skills will lift this way, the big

150
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: big skill here and the bigs, well, they all have

151
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: different weights and things that they're doing, but the mode

152
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: of operation, the standard, the communication will all be similar.

153
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: So I think it's actually great that they are starting

154
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: from scratch and having those relationships be able to be fostered,

155
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: and then as we grow get to know each other

156
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more, those IDPs will become a little

157
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: bit more common.

158
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 5: This portion of the off season is obviously evolu Terry,

159
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 5: how would you evaluate participation right now if your ninety

160
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: man roster?

161
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Very high, very high, Please, very pleased, Very appreciative of

162
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: the guys for being here, taking the time, knowing that

163
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: it is voluntary.

164
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: But it's definitely setting a positive standard right now.

165
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: The free agents kind of start to integrate themselves.

166
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's big.

167
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: We've signed ten, right and that's a large number of

168
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: guys to be able to come in. We've got all

169
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: the players faces downstairs in the lobby. As you walk

170
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: in new and you know former players and really just

171
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, most players that do

172
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: come in, it's like it is a little bit like

173
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: being a freshman back in high school again, reintegrating.

174
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: But you know, the.

175
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: Goal is for these guys to be able to come in,

176
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: work their tails off, earn respect throughout the way that

177
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to, uh, you know, kind

178
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: of get through this program and planning. And they've been

179
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: positive so far.

180
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: Though this is a feeling process.

181
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 9: You get to know guys, the guys getting to know

182
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 9: you very.

183
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Much, so, you know, but before we can do anything,

184
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: we've got to be able to show them at least

185
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: we do. We care right, We care first, and we

186
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: care about not only the success of the organization but

187
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: also the development of the player. And when they know that, hey,

188
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: we're here to truly help see you become the best

189
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: version of your self both on and off the field.

190
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: Once we establish those lines start to have more intimate conversations,

191
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: well that's usually when you feel them start to maybe

192
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: let the guard down and say, Okay, hey, I'm open

193
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: to hearing maybe a new way of learning or a

194
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: different way of doing this, and vice versa for coaches

195
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: as well.

196
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 10: The o line. Do you are you satisfied with the

197
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 10: free agents or are you still looking at that room

198
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 10: a little bit more?

199
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think from that standpoint, we're always looking.

200
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: To add to the roster, whether it's through the draft,

201
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: free agency, things like that. But I do believe we

202
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: brought in some some players to come help compete in

203
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: that room, a couple you know, obviously with Hainesy knowing

204
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: the system and McCary playing a lot of football and

205
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: guys coming in, Uh, it's only gonna help, right, help

206
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: add competitiveness to the room, and also just some accountability

207
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: to uh, knowing the system, that'll help everybody in that room.

208
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: So it's cool both of our you know, both of

209
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: our centers actually know a version of the system in

210
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: different ways. But it's only going to help bringing those

211
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: guys in.

212
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: To go back to it, I know you said.

213
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 5: You guys are still evaluating with Devin, but why were

214
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 5: you so confident in hacking up a fifth year options

215
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 5: portrayed on at this point?

216
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's just the type of guy getting to

217
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: know them a little bit and knowing that, hey, this

218
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: is something we we know we want to be a

219
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: part of, right, we want to have this relationship and

220
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: now once we get them into the building under our

221
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: roof getting to know each other a little bit more

222
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: and creating those conversations.

223
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,239
Speaker 3: I think that was really what stood.

224
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 11: Out I think last week or whatever it means, the.

225
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: Power of touch in that study? Did gott intrigue when

226
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: you first learned about that? Is that something you really

227
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: want to incorporate here in the cultures established?

228
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: That's right?

229
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: You know, you just look at connection and nowadays connections

230
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: so hard to actually create because so much of our

231
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: lives are you know, on the phone and just having

232
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: interpersonal conversations. And also you know, just the old fist bump,

233
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: the high five that you know, chess bump, like just

234
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: that helps bring people together. You look at every free

235
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: throw a basketball player shoots and it's here, and so

236
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: how do we continue to add that into Like as

237
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: a kid, when you were taught to celebrate, what did

238
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: that look like? And that's what we're ultimately trying to

239
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: get to is bringing the team together, bringing the coaches

240
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: and staff together to do something that that ultimately we've

241
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: never done before.

242
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 9: So Money came out last week and it showed you

243
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 9: going back home and being able to spend some time

244
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 9: with your family.

245
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: Just how much does that mean to you? Just being

246
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: able to do that after you know a your dream.

247
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: I appreciate that question. Yeah, that was really cool.

248
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: It was It was when you've wanted something for so

249
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: long and the people that helped raise you and that

250
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: we're around that saw that from a young age and

251
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: we're able to support you throughout those times and getting

252
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: to that goal, Uh, to share those moms in that

253
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: time that we don't usually get it was really special.

254
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: It's hard when you move around in this profession or

255
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: in any profession that we live in, it becomes hard

256
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: to become closer with family.

257
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: And that was a really special weekend.

258
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: Coach.

259
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 6: A lot of people like this time of year looking

260
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 6: for tennisies, right you guys don't have any yet.

261
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: They want to go to the rams over the Bucks

262
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 4: to pre baby.

263
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 6: Camp and either what's the process been like for you

264
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 6: to make this and create this as your own individual thing?

265
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: That's a great one. You're always pulling, right, everybody's pulling

266
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: from different places to ultimately make it ours right, And

267
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: we've got to watch those tapes of where we all

268
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: came from and Okay, find out what is the twenty

269
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: five Jags, though, like, how does this fit us? If

270
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: we may not have that answer right now. That's the

271
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: kind of cool part is we're going to throw as

272
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: much at these guys mentally in this offseason as much

273
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: as we can handle, and probably more, much more.

274
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: Actually, because it's not a physical.

275
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: Time of the year, it's the time of the year

276
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: we can stress the mentally ultimately throw that as much

277
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: at them as we can from Minnesota, from Tampa, from

278
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: LA from Green Bay, whatever it is, and see what

279
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: we can handle. We're not going to know who we're

280
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: truly going to be for a while, but it's more

281
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: so testing to see how much they can handle and

282
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: if maybe some of those concept schemes fundamentals fit our players.

283
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,239
Speaker 1: That's a great question because that's something that we're constantly

284
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: working through right now as the staff.

285
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 5: You said on Sirius XM.

286
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 10: In building Trevor into what you guys ultimately wanted to be,

287
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 10: the footwork has to be something where you start kind

288
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 10: of aground zero.

289
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 5: Can you work on that now? Nobody's injury was to

290
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 5: his shoulder as much as you can kind of illustrate.

291
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: Maybe right, I mean, as we've gotten him now in

292
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: the building. We are trying to create black and white

293
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: lines when it comes to footwork in ways, so that

294
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: understanding that the game is played in the gray.

295
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: There's so much that occurs on a play.

296
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: If you can have core fundamentals in footwork and that

297
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: you believe in and that you trust in those times

298
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: of crisis, you have something to actually fall back on

299
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: and play with a quieted mind. And so this is

300
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: a great opportunity now that he is a little limited

301
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: from a throwing standpoint, that we can dive into the footwork.

302
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: He can dive into it on his own time and

303
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: really work at this thing.

304
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: So he's committed to it.

305
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: It's something that we feel strongly about that can help

306
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: him continue to get better and ultimately on Sundays, you know,

307
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: we hope that shows up.

308
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: That's one from what you've seen with Trevor over the

309
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: last few years on.

310
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 11: Tape, just how much does he need to push to

311
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 11: change that footwork.

312
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 6: Or anything like that.

313
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: It's not really a change, just tweaking.

314
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: He's extremely talented, and he's made some unbelievable plays and

315
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: critical moments and led some huge comebacks. He's played hurt,

316
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: He's done so many good things now, it's just about, okay,

317
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: how do we fine tune it and just tighten it

318
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: up a little bit to get him in a place

319
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: where he's comfortable to cut the ball loose on time

320
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: and in rhythm, regardless of the circumstances. And that's really

321
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: what it comes down to, being able to give him

322
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: some balance around him so that he can feel like, man,

323
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: not every play is on me, right, not every play

324
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: I got, Every throw I have to make is going

325
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: to have to be life for death man. We've got

326
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: to create some balance for him so that he can

327
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: just go play quieted with a you know, free of

328
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: failure and just go let it rip.

329
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Yeah, thanks guys, really bad.

330
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 12: Fine excited a lot of good energy in the building,

331
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 12: righty to all improve together and get the same rolling

332
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 12: for sure. It's like I said earlier, it's exciting for real.

333
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 12: They come in with their own energy kind of Yeah,

334
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 12: new energy to the team. Obviously a little bit younger,

335
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 12: but I feel like this resonates a little bit better

336
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 12: in the room and everything right now. But just you know,

337
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 12: the passion that they speak with every time they're speaking

338
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 12: definitely rubs off on us the right way.

339
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: And just take that into all of our workouts.

340
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 12: Take that and you know, when we get on the

341
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 12: field together, a lot of guys are all willing to improve

342
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 12: and get better together as a team.

343
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: What do you think the challenges for you guys this year?

344
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: Just with all the new, with all the new, I.

345
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 12: Think that's a challenge every time you step into a

346
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 12: new system or new coordinators, new coaches. One just embracing coaching.

347
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 12: Two just trusting what they have in store, trusting their plan.

348
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 12: And then three just you know, understanding whatever the scheme

349
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 12: is or whatever the plans are, and playing you're still

350
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 12: your best football. I think that's always gonna be a

351
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 12: challenge when you got new teammates, new coaches and everything.

352
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 12: So just really embracing everything and trusting that everything's meant

353
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 12: for the better of the team.

354
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 10: Are there any coach you've previously had that you could

355
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 10: compare communications style, energy, coaching camp too?

356
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 12: I don't think so. I mean, he he in Northeastern

357
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 12: do I've ad to maybe in like college and stuff it.

358
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 12: You know, I don't think of coach though, but I

359
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 12: I've I've seen personality similar, but not you know, at

360
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 12: the coaching level. It's It's really cool though, Like I

361
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 12: love his energy that he brings in the passion that

362
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 12: he talks with.

363
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 4: I feel like it's gonna be contagious for the defense.

364
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 5: The follow up question is have.

365
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 10: You seen the Hard Knocks Club about ask what big

366
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 10: is a international language?

367
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 4: I have? I don't watch hard not so now it.

368
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 5: Was on the internet. Family your apparently you in a

369
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 5: s in a speech to the entire team.

370
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 4: Really her too, I m'a have to go watch that

371
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 4: to night.

372
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 7: There were the votor.

373
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: Boat or coach go and talk about its stiling this

374
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: culture and all of other stuff?

375
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: Did was there a badly needed culture change here?

376
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 5: Did you guys badly be in culture here?

377
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 4: We didn't win last year?

378
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 12: So I think whatever changes that are coming are accepted

379
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 12: because obviously we didn't play up to the standard that

380
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 12: we needed. So whatever was going on, right, you know,

381
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 12: if it's if it's we can't really promise more wins.

382
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 12: But obviously we needed maybe a new way to attack

383
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 12: the season, a new way to attack the off seasons

384
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 12: and stuff. So I think everybody is very accepting of

385
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 12: everything new that's in store for us. You know that

386
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 12: that equates to more wins.

387
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: Where did you play. I'm sorry, right where do you play?

388
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: Does a linement really matter?

389
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 11: Do you do?

390
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: Is it better for you to have a zero or

391
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: a nose tackle? In some schemes they don't have that

392
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: way they have.

393
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 4: I think it depends on the team that we're playing.

394
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 12: For real, I think I want my lineman to eat

395
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 12: more than than me, because if they're getting that, they're

396
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 12: disruptive giving off the ball. If I feel like that

397
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 12: we have a zero that can beat up their center,

398
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 12: he can disrupt every play, it's gonna make my job easier.

399
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 12: So at the end of the day, I feel like

400
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 12: what's best for them is gonna be the best for me.

401
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 4: Obviously, sometimes you want your guard.

402
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 12: If they have good guards, they get up to that

403
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 12: second level if we can maybe disrupt that. But at

404
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 12: the end of the day, it's still the line of

405
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 12: eating first. And I feel like, whatever long we got

406
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 12: linean doing everything, I feel like I'm good to go.

407
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: Coaching stuff before. Does it wear on you at.

408
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 12: Some point it's like another system like I've learned and it's.

409
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: What trained for years.

410
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I can be real with you.

411
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 12: I think that that might be a something that's not

412
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 12: talked about A lot. But I think going through a

413
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 12: lot of coaches, a lot of systems, whether offensively or defensively,

414
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 12: can can take a toll. But you know, I think

415
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 12: if you go about it with the right mindset of

416
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 12: learning and understanding that it can make your game better,

417
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 12: accepting what they're trying to coach you on and stuff like.

418
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 12: After that, being in so many different schemes, you kind

419
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 12: of seen everything, so you know, these guys are gonna

420
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 12: push me, and I feel like it's coming at a

421
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 12: great time in my career. It's like get better or

422
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 12: you know, obviously better than what I had last year,

423
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 12: or you know, you don't know what's gonna happen after this,

424
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 12: So I'm taking every challenge on, you know, ready to

425
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 12: go attacking everything.

426
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: But I'm I'm definitely very.

427
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 12: Excited to accept new coaching and and and new understandings

428
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 12: of defense.

429
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: When did when did you kind of get to that realization?

430
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: Is that something that you're kind of always known.

431
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 4: Or nah, I definitely didn't always know that. Yeah I

432
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 4: had to.

433
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 12: You know, I think if you're new in the league,

434
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 12: being in the same system gonna benefit you for for

435
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 12: for like, let's say that rookie contract because now you're

436
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 12: not you know, always second guess and stuff like everything's

437
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 12: kind of set in stone.

438
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: You're just playing.

439
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 12: Football based off with the offense does instead of worrying

440
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 12: about what you do. I had a new coach my

441
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 12: last my last year in Atlanta, that was, you know,

442
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 12: learning something on the fly, and the contract year is

443
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 12: like get better or get out to me.

444
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 4: That's kind of pressure I put on myself. Uh.

445
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 12: Fortunately I was able to play well and I came here,

446
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 12: had a new coach. You know, it was meat expectations

447
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 12: or they're gonna move on, you know, and then all

448
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 12: of a sudden you get a new coach. Now it's

449
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 12: like rockster, the expectation, rochter, raise your level of player.

450
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 12: You know, you know know what's gonna happen. So I

451
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 12: think it's always cool. Challenges that I feel like are

452
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 12: good for the growth of individually, but they they are

453
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 12: hard in the moment to like maybe unlearned and relearn.

454
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 12: But you know, I'm a professional football players my job,

455
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 12: so that's what I gotta do.

456
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: Young guys in the linebacker room with you, maybe on

457
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: their first contracts, have been going through different coaching, They've

458
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: been leading on you heavily through.

459
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 12: I think we all got pretty we're all pretty bright,

460
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 12: very talented. I definitely always offer my advice because the

461
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 12: better we all play, you know, it's gonna be good

462
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 12: for the room, gonna be good for the team. But yeah,

463
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 12: if they have questions about what I'm seeing, for sure,

464
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 12: I'm I'm always offering my expertise. I say, but we're

465
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 12: very they're very bright, the rest of the guys and stuff.

466
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 12: So like you know, I got all the comments to

467
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 12: them to pick up new stuff. I've seen it two

468
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 12: times now, being able to uh play at the high level.

469
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 5: To see Trayvon get the fifty year option picked up

470
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 5: for I mean you I I had a feeling smile

471
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 5: when I say that. For you guys, you've been here

472
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 5: a couple of years.

473
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 12: What does he mean to that collective or you know,

474
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 12: I I've seen his growth from his rookie year to

475
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 12: now and even last year when you know, things were

476
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 12: kind of going awry and stuff, he was still putting

477
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 12: this as foot forward. I like his work ethic as

478
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 12: a player, you know, schemes whatever, I just like his

479
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 12: work ethics. So I feel like, uh, and the scheme's

480
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 12: gonna benefit him as the coaches who you use his

481
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 12: his talent and hard work and his mentality to his

482
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 12: the best of his ability. He only discouts a limit

483
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 12: for him, so I always you know that he's athletics

484
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 12: specimen and stuff, but he also got that hard work

485
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 12: and mentality, so I I just love being around him.

486
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 2: He talked a little bit about getting a coach camp,

487
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 2: but he.

488
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 12: Tuld aboutetting he's cool. I mean, like I said, these

489
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 12: coaches got they they got a great personality and a

490
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 12: lot of good energy.

491
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: So I think they're very direct.

492
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 12: I think they're you know, they're very relatable, but they

493
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 12: always give it that they shoot it straight.

494
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 4: That that makes sense. So I'm excited to.

495
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 12: Be around people like that because I don't like shying

496
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 12: away from what needs to be said or what I

497
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 12: need to do.

498
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 4: But also like allows for a growth mindset.

499
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 12: Like if I feel like I'm seeing something I don't

500
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 12: feel because it's so honest of a relationship between us

501
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 12: or will be, I can go to them say what

502
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 12: I'm and they're really gonna take that uh into account

503
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 12: and uh but they're always mean. They always want the

504
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 12: best for me cause they want the best for the team.

505
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 12: They're always gonna relay exactly what they're meaning. So I'm

506
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 12: excited to be right here kind.

507
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 5: Of building off of that. Do you feel like this

508
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: isn't just here? Just like at large? Conflict aversion? Is

509
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 5: that something that people like run from conflict when sometimes

510
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 5: having confrontation and like discussing your problems.

511
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 4: Is that people do that. I don't know what the

512
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 4: what their backgrounds are.

513
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 12: I just know how always raised like you couldn't escape us,

514
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 12: you might as well go go get your punishment shit

515
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 12: or shoot.

516
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 4: So uh yeah like it.

517
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 12: Whatever the conflict is, it's gonna be there tomorrow unless

518
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 12: you go attacking now. So I I like going to

519
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 12: see what it like, what's really being thought, what I

520
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 12: really need to do? Let me fix that right now,

521
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 12: or know what I need to fix that way I

522
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 12: can go do it.

523
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 10: The younger guys uh lean on you and you can

524
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 10: offer your advice to them. But are there guys that

525
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 10: you lean on, maybe more veteran guys or in tours

526
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 10: that he's still keep in contact with whenever you.

527
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: Might have any questions or anything like that.

528
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 12: Very close with Josh Trayvon uh Eric has been a

529
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 12: good good piece to add cause he's he's done it at.

530
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: A high level for a long time.

531
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 8: Uh.

532
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: I got a lot of friends around the league.

533
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 12: Really, any teammate that I was close with and played

534
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 12: with back in the day, uh one of my stables

535
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 12: I I just watched really like I'll hit.

536
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 4: Him up sometimes. But Grady Jarrett uh in Atlanta.

537
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 12: I mean just how he came in the league late

538
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 12: round pick and then what he's made himself into and

539
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 12: he always working and and you know a staple of

540
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 12: the defenses that he's on. Definitely try to emulate my

541
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 12: career off of what I saw from him. So that's

542
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 12: always like a good role model. Obviously, got sometimes some

543
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 12: linebackers come here joint practice. I went to talk to

544
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 12: Levont David uh last year and stuff. He gave me

545
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 12: good advice on how to attack off seasons and stuff

546
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 12: to be able to be playing at a high level

547
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 12: all the way through the season as you as your body.

548
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 12: You know, is he older in the league, So I'm

549
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 12: always looking for for advice and tidbits on how to

550
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 12: get better and stay better.

551
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, there's a new strike coach.

552
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: Just in terms of your first.

553
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 11: Impressions of of of him and and sort of the

554
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 11: team and what does that What does that mean for

555
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 11: you guys or from execuities.

556
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's good energy.

557
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 12: Like that's one thing all the way, Like, especially after

558
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 12: the first two days I just worked out with him.

559
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 12: You know, if they're that same person every day, it's

560
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 12: gonna be great for the team. He's gonna grind us.

561
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 12: I think it's gonna be so good for us going forward.

562
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 12: We just gotta have a growth mentality to understand that.

563
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 12: Just cause we feel a little tired today, we keep

564
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 12: on this path, like you gonna be amazing by the

565
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 12: end of Ota, by end of training camp. You know,

566
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 12: I'm excited for where this team can go. Uh lifting

567
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 12: with him and stuff. But he's working us, so I'm

568
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 12: I'm excited.

569
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 4: Yup.

570
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 2: I don't think your put your work.

571
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 9: Do you think your position of flexibility from your time

572
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 9: in Yale playing corner, playing safety, then playing linebacker, does

573
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 9: that give you a benefit in like learning all these

574
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 9: different new systems like you said, uh, you know, in

575
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 9: in putting all these different systems every time you get

576
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 9: a new coach.

577
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think so, just because one you can understand

578
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 12: what other positions are doing, is you're going or you

579
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 12: can understand the why whatever your job responsibility is so important.

580
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 12: Maybe it's to help out the safety, maybe it's help

581
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 12: out a corner in their job responsibility. But I think

582
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 12: it's going forward, like or going through the NFL. As

583
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 12: soon as I came to the NFL, I changed position

584
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 12: to a linebacker. I'm always learning new concepts, new playbook

585
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 12: in order to not have.

586
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 4: To do well in order to be successful.

587
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 12: So like coming into a new coordinator, like, it's nothing

588
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 12: new for me in terms of like adapting and learning

589
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 12: and having to execute on the fly. But like as

590
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 12: you said, maybe that flexibility all the way through my

591
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 12: college career has kind of geared me to start thinking

592
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 12: like that, always be able to be able to adapt

593
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 12: with it whatever comes.

594
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if you saw over the weekend to

595
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 5: Mario Douglas give it his mom a brand new car.

596
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 5: Did you do something like that when you were drafted

597
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 5: or under that rookie contract?

598
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 7: You're doing something like that for someone from my parents, parents, siblings, got.

599
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're pretty frugal, so especially being Nigerian, Like if

600
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 12: you give them something they don't need, they're gonna be like,

601
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 12: why do you do that? So I've definitely been blessed

602
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 12: to not have people that needed that per se. I

603
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 12: think my parents, you know, they didn't have a lot,

604
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 12: but they did a lot to get me to to

605
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 12: square zero. I'd say, able to pay off my student

606
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 12: debts in college, but they haven't handed me in terms

607
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 12: of needing a lot. I've helped people out along the way.

608
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 12: That's our personal relationship. I'm not gonna sit here and

609
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 12: brag about people live health and stuff, but I didn't

610
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 12: have no like even for myself. I think for the

611
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 12: first two years, my biggest expenditure was or expense was

612
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 12: a couch in my apartment. So I got my two

613
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 12: thound Toyota twenty twenty Toyota Camri and that was my

614
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 12: biggest one. But I'm not spending a lot for real,

615
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 12: So I got a house throughout my career. I got

616
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 12: one of those. So that's about it. That's really all

617
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 12: I need.

618
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's up you guys?

619
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 10: Good?

620
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 7: Good, awesome, good great. Have to worry about multies feels great.

621
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 7: It feels great being able to unrestrict it, hold shay

622
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 7: and help out around the house. And obviously the football side,

623
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 7: like work out and throw I'm able to do all

624
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 7: that now. And I'm getting there, which feels feels really good.

625
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 5: What exactly is the plan as far as you can

626
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 5: as much as you can explain as far as your

627
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 5: return to play right now, what you are able to

628
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 5: do right now.

629
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, there's not really a set like deadline

630
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 7: on it, just because you know, we don't we don't

631
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 7: play a game till you know, this fall. So obviously

632
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be ready sooner than that. But so I'm

633
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 7: very optimistic I'll be perfectly good for the season. But uh,

634
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 7: as far as just right now, I think just kind

635
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 7: of pacing ourselves as OTAs go and working myself up

636
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 7: to where I'm in shape as far as throwing, and

637
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 7: so just the I guess the amount of throws might

638
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 7: be a little lighter to start and work our way

639
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 7: up just until I get really fully back, but I

640
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 7: imagine that and then maybe just some handoff stuff will

641
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 7: be a little limited. But besides that, I think that

642
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 7: won't last too long, so I don't have a you know, yeah,

643
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 7: I'm throwing, and obviously I'm kind of progressing and working

644
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 7: my way up further distance more throws, just trying to

645
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 7: be smart and not just jump off the you know

646
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 7: end of the deep end, you know right away, just

647
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 7: trying to work up to it.

648
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: Most of the guys in attacking the ability to get.

649
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: To come back to it feels great. Just the energy

650
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: and the building.

651
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 7: You know, I've been here a lot just because of

652
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 7: rehab and stuff and trying to get my shoulder healthy,

653
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 7: and so I've been around this off season a lot

654
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 7: more than maybe even typically, So just to have all

655
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 7: the guys back in the building and just bring some

656
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 7: energy and some juice. And I know, from from a

657
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 7: player standpoint, everybody's excited. Everybody in the locker room's pumped

658
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 7: to be back. And then you know the coaching side,

659
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 7: you can feel the energy and the excitement, and those

660
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 7: guys are up here working all off season trying to

661
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 7: get everything ready, so they're chomping at the bit by

662
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 7: the time we get in because they get to actually

663
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 7: do what they love and coach and have the players around.

664
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 7: So I think there's a good balance of just everybody's

665
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 7: excited and very optimistic and a lot of energy.

666
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 12: Talk a little bit about working with footwork, and you

667
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 12: talk about what that kind.

668
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: Of looks like along the way.

669
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, just there's some things that you know, there's some

670
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 7: things I've known about my footwork over the years of

671
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 7: playing that I felt like have been a little bit

672
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 7: of a weakness. So there's some things that we've talked

673
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 7: about of just what are those things, what are we

674
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 7: identifying as things to excuse me as things to work on.

675
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 7: And then the system is built around timing and tying

676
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 7: your feet to your progression and playing on time, and

677
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 7: so so it allows you to get backside, allows you

678
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 7: to get to checkdowns or whatever it may be, and

679
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 7: you can feel comfortable playing on time. And more than

680
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 7: any system I've ever learned, it's structured and based on that,

681
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 7: and it's so everything's tied exactly to all, right, this

682
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 7: route is on this timing, so then your next progression

683
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 7: is off of this footwork, off this timing, so it

684
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 7: all ties in perfect. You don't have multiple routes declaring

685
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 7: at the same time, which is hard as a quarterback

686
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 7: because then you're sitting back there and you got to

687
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 7: make a decision before really the guys open or covered,

688
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 7: you know. So I think they've done a really good

689
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 7: job with the system of really thinking through how does

690
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 7: it tie into a quarterbacks feet And that's what we've

691
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 7: been talking about, and it takes some work and you know,

692
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 7: flipping my stands, just some little things like that that

693
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 7: are small that many people wouldn't notice, but it is.

694
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 7: I have so many banked reps of the other way.

695
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 7: I got to just get all these on my own

696
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 7: and and and work them. So once camp comes around,

697
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 7: I'm ready to go. I do you know, I think

698
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 7: it's I just I really believe in it. I believe

699
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 7: in the process, you know what. Obviously it's early, but

700
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 7: as far as just what the main I guess priorities

701
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 7: are going to be for us, and how they see

702
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 7: the game and our offense, what we want to build

703
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 7: it around, like all those things I'm in alignment with.

704
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 7: I think just the few things that we've talked about,

705
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 7: as far as sinking the feet to the progressions into

706
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 7: all these things is really important as a quarterback, you know,

707
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 7: I think I'm gonna be able to to play even

708
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 7: faster and get through progressions and feel confident and trust that.

709
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: Really learned from clean take Glasstown. It is a little

710
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: bit different from making previous to be learned about that,

711
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: and how different.

712
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 7: Is It's a lot different. I think it's hard to

713
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 7: it's hard to compare just the energy and obviously younger guys.

714
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 7: It's just different, a different setup than we've had in

715
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 7: the past. Not to say you know one thing or

716
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 7: the other, it's just it is very different. And I

717
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 7: think all around the coaching staff too, is majority younger guys.

718
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 7: And but the one thing I will say is everyone

719
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 7: is is in alignment and uh, it's the same message

720
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 7: and it's very clear of what's being preached and what

721
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 7: is what the culture is going to be about for

722
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 7: our team, and the messaging is crystal clear. And I

723
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 7: think that's obviously important. And even starting with with James,

724
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 7: you know, having as much time with him, but obviously

725
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 7: I've got to talk to him and really enjoyed that.

726
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 7: And but but from him all the way through all

727
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 7: the whole staff is it's all the same and I

728
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 7: think that's a great starting point for us. Obviously, time

729
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 7: will tell and we have to we have to, you know,

730
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 7: win on the field.

731
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 4: That's most important.

732
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 8: But I like where we're at to to not have

733
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 8: or are you or other guys frustrated like we got

734
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 8: to go through another oh should change another new system?

735
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 5: Like guests, where are you guys were just like five

736
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 5: six years stability.

737
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's he is. It's challenging for sure,

738
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 7: but I think we're past that point as far as

739
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 7: I don't know if frustration is the right word, but

740
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 7: just starting over is always hard. And obviously, you know,

741
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 7: we had a we had a good year in twenty

742
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 7: two and then things just turned on us over time, unfortunately,

743
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 7: and and didn't play well enough and didn't win enough

744
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 7: games the last two years, and we found ourselves in

745
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 7: this position. So I think going from that to where

746
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 7: we were at and obviously not having a coach and

747
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 7: now we have Liam and we're kind of I'm past

748
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 7: that point of feeling like, gole, you gotta start over again.

749
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 7: But I mean, just to be honest, there is a

750
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 7: little bit of that at first, because it is, you know,

751
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 7: doing it again, and you've done it before and you've

752
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 7: done it a few times, so there's a little bit

753
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 7: of that at first, but I think we're way past that.

754
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 7: I know, guys are really excited. I'm really excited. I'm

755
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 7: just excited to learn this system and to dive in

756
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 7: and put as much work in as I can to

757
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 7: have a great year. And I have a lot of

758
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 7: confidence in the group that we have here. Sure after

759
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 7: the draft, teams in a change even more and what

760
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 7: they're doing upstairs and down the locker room. I really

761
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 7: believe in what we're doing, and so I think that's

762
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 7: where the excitement comes from. Seeing what was said initially

763
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 7: and how it's being carried out. I think is exciting

764
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 7: for me because you're you're seeing that you know, they're

765
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 7: doing all the things that you wanted them to do

766
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 7: and that they said they do from from the beginning.

767
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 7: So it's exciting.

768
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 5: Can you see a difference since you've known him now

769
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 5: for four years but with Tony now being in the

770
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 5: role that he's in, so is it?

771
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 4: Yeah?

772
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 5: Did is there a difference?

773
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 7: Is that?

774
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 5: Know? Liam talked about how there was a culture meeting

775
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 5: not just with the team but with the entire staff

776
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 5: in every department.

777
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I've I've known Tony for a while now.

778
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 7: Obviously he has that role, so it's part of his

779
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 7: job description. For I wouldn't say this is his opinion,

780
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 7: but for his input, you know, with the with the staff,

781
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 7: with the team, and he's way more involved like than

782
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 7: he than he was before. But I knew We've had

783
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 7: brief conversations throughout the years, and I can always tell

784
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 7: that that Tony had a lot on his mind, for

785
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 7: one and had a lot that you know, he might

786
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 7: not have been in the role to to voice all that,

787
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 7: but just on our brief interactions, you know, we've had

788
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 7: a great relationship and I feel like I've always could

789
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 7: always be honest with him, and we've been very candid

790
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 7: with each other over the years. And it's been brief,

791
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 7: but it's it's nice seeing him in that role and

792
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 7: being a former player and sitting in our seats, and

793
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 7: how much he cares about this team. You know, that's

794
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 7: why he does it. It's a guy that you know.

795
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 7: I I wouldn't say it was probably his lifelong dream

796
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 7: to be in that role, since he's a kid, like

797
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 7: he's been a player, and he wants to see this

798
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 7: team be great in this city be better too, And

799
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 7: I think that's like, that's what's cool about it is

800
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 7: he's doing it from from that standpoint, not for any

801
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 7: other reason for.

802
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 2: Diving into a new system now for the first time.

803
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 13: As like a dad, how do you balance now having

804
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 13: to know the difference between a cry when they have

805
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 13: to get changed or their teving they're hungry. How do

806
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 13: you balance having all of that new stuff to know

807
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 13: and they're doing this getting are getting used to a

808
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 13: new system for the first time.

809
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's uh, it's definitely an adjustment because when you're

810
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 7: home it's not as much. You know, you're not just

811
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 7: sitting around doing doing nothing and have all that time necessarily,

812
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 7: and in some ways you have more time I think

813
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 7: because you make less plans just being a dad. It's

814
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 7: like you don't have as many plans to go out

815
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 7: and do stuff or take trips or whatever. So I

816
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 7: think just in between when she's down for napps, you know,

817
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 7: trying to trying to get into the stuff as much

818
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 7: as I can. Uh, start with formations, motions, all that stuff,

819
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 7: just the base stuff and then starting with some of

820
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 7: the concepts and stuff now and we're gonna start installing

821
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 7: more as a team that we're back in o TA.

822
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 7: So we have this set time here now which is

823
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 7: nice and get to talk with the guys through it.

824
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 7: But yeah, no, it's definitely different. You got a manager

825
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 7: time well, and also you got to be able to

826
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 7: to audible and adjust because Shae wakes up and it's

827
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 7: not hold on, I need like ten more minutes to

828
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 7: finish this, it's it's right then. So it's an adjustment.

829
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 7: But thankfully I got a great wife and uh Shae's mom,

830
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 7: Marissa to to help me with that. She's I mean,

831
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 7: she she does more than I do, so I can't complainer.

832
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 11: Maybe since you this is your third NFL playbook, just

833
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 11: to learn to all of this substance that you've sort

834
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 11: of done it over the last.

835
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 2: Couple of years.

836
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's some things you know, you're you're used to,

837
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 7: You're used to finding ways to like make everything stick.

838
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 7: I think the hard part is when you hear things

839
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 7: that are the same words that mean something different like that.

840
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 7: You've got a lot of systems that kind of go

841
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 7: through your head and you got to really differentiate it

842
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 7: in everything and find a way to to learn it

843
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 7: that way. I think that's maybe the only challenge more

844
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 7: challenging part knowing multiple systems. But for the most part,

845
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 7: I think the formations and motions, all the basic stuff

846
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 7: like that was really hard for me to learn my

847
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 7: rookie year and the play calls, the length, all that

848
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 7: stuff because I just wasn't used to any of it.

849
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 7: Now being in multiple systems like that, that's a lot

850
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 7: that comes more second nature and it's easier to pick

851
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 7: up about playing.

852
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 10: And I haven't yet.

853
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 7: You know, I know Baker, I wouldn't say, well, but

854
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 7: we're buddies and every time I see him, you know,

855
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 7: we try to catch up talk. I really got a

856
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 7: lot of respect for him. I haven't got a chance

857
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 7: to yet, but I need to. I've heard through other

858
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 7: people that I've talked to, Baker had different things throughout

859
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 7: the off season that he's just says great things about

860
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 7: him and how much helped him and said I'm gonna

861
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 7: love playing for him. So I've kind of heard that

862
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 7: through I guess mutual friends and stuff.

863
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be this season without Chrishan? I mean

864
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: not just on the field, but those are.

865
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 7: Your friends, Like, yeah, it's tough. Yeah, it's it's hard.

866
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 7: You know, you build relationships with guys, and you know, unfortunately,

867
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 7: I've I've seen those two guys are a little different

868
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 7: because we spent three years together and I guess the

869
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 7: majority of my time here besides my rookie year. So

870
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 7: it's hard seeing guys go, and it's it's part of

871
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 7: the business, unfortunately, you know, it's just you got to

872
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 7: kind of take it for what it is and move on, honestly,

873
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 7: and but the relationship piece of it will always be there.

874
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 4: You know.

875
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 7: We we built special relationships and friendships that thankfully will

876
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 7: last outside of this and being on the same team,

877
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 7: you know. So I think that's the the good thing

878
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 7: about it, because there's certain people, you know, when when

879
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 7: they leave as my guy, but you kind of lose

880
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 7: touch a little bit. But those are two guys that

881
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 7: will always stay in touch. We'll be we'll be close friends.

882
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 7: And obviously I wish nothing but the best for him,

883
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 7: except for twice a year with Christian, and I think

884
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 7: we played the Broncos this year too, so once once

885
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 7: for Evan. So no, those guys, they do it the

886
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 7: right way, and obviously it's it's disappoint they're not here.

887
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 7: Obviously there's a lot that goes into this other than

888
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 7: just than than friendships and relationships, and you know that

889
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 7: part is always gonna be hard. But over the years

890
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 7: you kind of get used to, you know, dealing with

891
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 7: all that stuff. And I talked to I talked to

892
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 7: those guys a lot still, so we're keeping in touch.

893
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 5: I asked Foy this I'm not gonna tell you, was

894
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 5: answered just you had to clear answer it. But over

895
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 5: the weekend, local guy Tomario Douglas surprised his mat with

896
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 5: a new car. Did you do anything like that when

897
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 5: getting drafted or under your rookie contract or anything like that.

898
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 7: Nothing that big, not yet. There's stuff I like to

899
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 7: keep private, but no, I haven't done then, haven't done

900
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 7: the car yet?

901
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 5: Or that's awesome you said in your season ending press conference.

902
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 5: I'm trying to remember. It was obviously after Doug was gone,

903
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 5: Trent was gone yet, but you said that you felt

904
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 5: that a concerted effort to run the ball was needed

905
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 5: and that was what was lacking the.

906
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: Last two and three years.

907
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 5: Do you feel like there are steps that have been

908
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 5: taken and that are being taken to rectify that.

909
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 7: Definitely, one hundred percent. You know. I think it's it's

910
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 7: not only it's yeah, it's it's not only just trying

911
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 7: to run the ball, it's what's the plan. I think

912
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 7: everyone tries to run the ball. I think everybody knows

913
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 7: and in football it's important. I mean there's not if

914
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 7: you know football at all, you know that's important. So

915
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 7: I think everybody knows that. But just from the little

916
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 7: that we've gotten into the plan to run the ball

917
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 7: well effectively, efficiently, the way we can adapt throughout games.

918
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 7: Start the season figuring out what we're what we're good at.

919
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 7: Naturally we're gonna be better at certain things than we

920
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 7: are at others. Those things, how you you know, determine

921
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 7: what the defense is going to do, how you see

922
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 7: what they're doing to get yourself in the best play.

923
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 7: There's just so much stuff that I'm excited to learn

924
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 7: and get into that is kind of new for me.

925
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 7: And it's it's more, i think right now for us,

926
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 7: it's gonna be more to learn. It's gonna be more

927
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 7: work put in for all the guys of gonna learn

928
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 7: the system because it's a it's a it's a tough

929
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 7: system to learn, but it's gonna help us play faster.

930
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 7: It's gonna help us be in the right play more

931
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 7: than we're not. It's gonna set us up for success.

932
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 7: But you gotta put the time in and.

933
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 10: Study, Kirk or heavan those gaps.

934
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 5: Diffens and stuff. But do you hope how do you

935
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 5: adjust without them?

936
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 7: Now?

937
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 5: Do you hope that you have some more targets coming

938
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 5: in soon? Or how do you adjust to the to

939
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 5: losing that.

940
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 7: I've learned throughout this, uh my time here, just you

941
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 7: can't control who's Honestly, you can't control who's here, who's

942
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 7: gonna be here, who's who's not gonna be here, who's

943
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 7: gonna get traded, who's gonna get released. You don't know

944
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 7: any of that, really, and those are decisions that are

945
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 7: not in my realm. So from what we have here

946
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 7: right now, I know those guys, and obviously Diami's a

947
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 7: new guy, and we got you know, Hunter and Johnny

948
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 7: to two new tight ends as well. I know what

949
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 7: we have to work with, and I'm sure there'll be

950
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 7: additions from the draft.

951
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 4: Who knows what those are gonna be.

952
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 7: But I like what we have to be honest, Obviously,

953
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 7: losing Christian and Evan are two big losses. So I

954
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 7: think we got some good guys in free agency, and

955
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 7: I'm sure we'll supplement the draft as well. But it's

956
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 7: a different system, so it's hard to compare apples to

957
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 7: apples of what their usage is gonna be in this system,

958
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 7: and kind of it's just really hard to compare because

959
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 7: they're total two totally different offenses. So I really like,

960
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 7: like I said, Diami and the speed and obviously Brian

961
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 7: is I thought he had some great experience last year

962
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 7: with all the injuries we had of having to just

963
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 7: step up and everyone you were targeting Brian and he's

964
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 7: gonna get majority of the targets, and he still shined

965
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 7: and played well and produced every game. So that was

966
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 7: great practice for him because that's what's gonna happen now

967
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 7: that he's shown that the rest of his career. So

968
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 7: I really like where we're at. Obviously we're gonna keep

969
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 7: getting better, We're gonna have pieces and but yeah, it's

970
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 7: kind of a hard, hard question to answer. I hope

971
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 7: that helped.

972
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 4: Seems like his role increasing fan this year.

973
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 2: What have you seen from last year even since he

974
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 2: got drafted.

975
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 6: Just.

976
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 7: Britain is beyond ready just the way he practices, the

977
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 7: way he works, I think, you know, I I do

978
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 7: give a lot of credit to Evan. I think him, Uh,

979
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 7: Britain's a hard worker naturally, but coming in and being

980
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 7: behind Evan and having that kind of guy to look

981
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 7: up to, and as as far as Evan's work ethic

982
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 7: and being out there early, staying late, putting in all

983
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 7: the extra time, I think Brenton really fell in line

984
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 7: with that and has kept that going.

985
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 3: So that piece of.

986
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 7: It makes you feel really good about him because you

987
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 7: know he's doing everything the right way. And then obviously

988
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 7: his talent on the field. I mean he's a great blocker,

989
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 7: he's nasty, physical, likes blocking like that's something that that

990
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 7: he's good at and likes doing. And then when he

991
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 7: gets the ball in his hands, breaks tackles, he can run,

992
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 7: great hands, he's physical, he really can just he can

993
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 7: do everything you need him to do. So I think

994
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 7: he's beyond ready for this opportunity then, And that's that's

995
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 7: the give and take, right You're you're disappointed, and the

996
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 7: thing with Evan losing a friend, losing a great player,

997
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 7: but Britain gets an opportunity to step up even more,

998
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 7: which which he did a lot at times last year.

999
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 7: So he's gonna he's gonna do great and I'm just

1000
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 7: excited to keep building that relationship with him.

1001
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 11: How much do you feel like you put on your

1002
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 11: shoulders some of the last couple of years, both mentally

1003
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 11: and physically, just feeling like you might have had to

1004
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 11: make a play here and there versus maybe now with

1005
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 11: the new coaching staff, how they're talking about emphasizing the

1006
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 11: ground attack, all the different things that you can kind.

1007
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: Of take that off of you. How do you use

1008
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 2: sort of compare it to you.

1009
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's uh, there was definitely times I did that,

1010
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 7: and you know, I wouldn't say that's That's part of

1011
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 7: playing quarterback. You know, you have those those feelings sometimes

1012
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 7: and you gotta be able to play the game the

1013
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 7: right way at all times and make those calculated risk

1014
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 7: decisions whatever it may be. That there'll be time to

1015
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 7: do those too. But no matter the offense, you're gonna

1016
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 7: have those situations come up where it's like you might

1017
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 7: feel like you need to make a play, but you

1018
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 7: don't just make the smart play.

1019
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 4: Depends.

1020
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 7: It's all situational based, right if it's fourth down, the

1021
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 7: fourth and ten at the end of the game, and

1022
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 7: that's different. You know, you're thrown into traffic, You're trying

1023
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 7: to make something happen. But that's part of playing quarterback.

1024
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 7: And I've grown a lot over the years of learning

1025
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 7: when's the right time to take those risks, when is

1026
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 7: it when's it worth it? But you're always gonna have that.

1027
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 7: But I you know, the hope and the plan is

1028
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 7: to have less of those because you're on schedule, you know,

1029
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 7: you make the game easier. I think you think a

1030
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 7: QB friendly, it's it's how you what's the game plan,

1031
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 7: how you call it, what's the sequence of the calls,

1032
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 7: how the game flow goes, all all those things like

1033
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 7: that's what I think helps a QB out in this league.

1034
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 7: It's it's honestly, it is just hard to drop back

1035
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 7: every play and make it happen because the pass rush

1036
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 7: is so good, the disguises are so good, and it's

1037
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 7: just hard. So I think the more variety you can

1038
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 7: have just helps you as an offense. App Okay, thanks,

1039
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 7: appreciate y'all
