Since then when you 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: made Campo g a s in the camp and however, 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: whatever your interactions, then why do you like him more 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: now than maybe draft dead? We like him more now 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: because we know the person now, we know the player. 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: We see the player on film, but the person his 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: work ethic, when he talks about off the field, that's 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: what we like about him. And you know, I just 13 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: can't wait to get him going more, get him in 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: the pads and just see him progress.

Was No, We're just 17 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: gonna let that take care of herself. Uh, you know, 18 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: there's no timetable on it. We'll just let him go. 19 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,319 Speaker 1: He's really getting a bunch of good mental reps now, 20 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: that's important for young player to get the mental reps. 21 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: And he's standing inside coach at Gilbert it and Coach 22 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: Sutton myself and he's getting the mental reps, so it's 23 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: good for him. Chat well this Uh this spring, we 24 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: saw him come in. UH saw his production in college 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: and then just a mental part of the game. He's playing, 26 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: uh real fast for a young guy, and just can't 27 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: wait to see once a pad get on. Just to 28 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: see him go out there and dude, he's supposed to do. 29 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: Coach you. UH were a part of the NFL's diversity 30 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: program going up to the owners meetings in Atlanta, got 31 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: the Bill Walsh diversity coaches out here, UH participating with 32 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: training kid keep talking about the importance of these diversity 33 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: programs to help diversity by the coach and staffs. Oh, 34 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: it's really Uh. I think it's important. It's good steps. 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: Going up there this spring was a great opportunity for 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: me to UH. I played on five or six different teams, 37 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: can't can't remember how many, but I know some of 38 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: the owners. But meeting him in a different setting was 39 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: really good for me to be able to sit down 40 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: and talk to him, which is fine, and then talking 41 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: about the minority internship. UH, that's how I started. I 42 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: was there with the Eagles coach Andy Reid. He brought 43 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: me on and able to do that. It's a time 44 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: where you can, as a former player or young coach, 45 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: find out what you don't know and find out if 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: you really want to do it. We'll show people and 47 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: the guys we have here are working extremely hard so far, 48 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: and we're happy to have him. When you guys are 49 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: looking at the signing for a what was it about 50 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: you about him that really excited one? Production two? Just 51 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: when you talk to people around the league, his former coaches, 52 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: how smart and how detail he was. And we always 53 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: want a guy that stand in front of the huddle, 54 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: that's a natural leader, and you know, you can put 55 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: him in. You can put anybody in front of the huddle, 56 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: but if they're not that leader, the guys aren't going 57 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: to really follow them. But he's a guy that throughout 58 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: his career he's been that one that you look to 59 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: or teams have looked to. And once he got here, 60 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: you you just saw it. Uh. He stepped in front 61 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: of the huddle, commanded it, he communicates. Well, So you know, 62 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: we're happy to have a guy like that here for 63 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: the first time. You know what I mean, Well, I'll 64 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: kind of buy us. I'm a former inside linebacker, an 65 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: inside linebacker coach. So I liked those guys because I 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: understand what that means to a team. You know, I 67 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on him, and you know, 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: got broad shoulder, so he's gonna stand up to it 69 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: for a toy A and and Josh. So to have 70 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: those two like kingpins of that defense with all the 71 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: young guys around him and the newdists around him, they 72 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: have experience. Oh it's always good to have experience. But 73 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: we have a coaching staff that has a bunch of 74 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: guys that have played. But when you see guys that 75 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: are on the field with you that have been through 76 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: it and understand what we want from them, and the 77 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: young guys can turn and go ask a question that 78 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: they might not want to ask a coach, you know 79 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So, once we have so many leaders 80 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: at different positions of we're comfortable like that. You mentioned 81 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: leadership and experience. At this stage, do you have an 82 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: idea of who will be those main leaders of your defense? Really, 83 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: I don't like to say who the leaders are. In 84 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: my mind, the leader of somebody that's out there making plays. 85 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: When you're a young guy and you see someone out 86 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: there that's doing it, the right way making plays. Those 87 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: are the guys you follow, and as coaches we kind 88 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: of steer you that way. If you see a guy 89 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: that's doing it the right way, go get in his 90 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: back pocket because he's doing it the right way, and 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: that's what you got to model yourself behind. It looks 92 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: like you guys will be better against the run, But 93 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: when will you know that? When you not know that 94 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: it's the one where do you change to join that 95 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: in camp when the prides are on. We'll probably better 96 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: against the run once we get to the end of 97 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: the season find out. But but that's the plan. We 98 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: want to go out there and be the best we 99 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: can be, and that's the goal right now. Get better 100 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: every day, continue to work and we have certain things 101 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: we want to focus on, and our focus is what 102 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to get better at and be good at. 103 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: Get the first time of defense coordinas. We have a 104 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: tendency to think that his last stop is what the 105 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: defense is gonna look like. Will this have a spin 106 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: on it from your entire career? Will it look a 107 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: lot like Tom When you think about it as a 108 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: coach growing up, growing up, you're influenced by so many 109 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: different people out with your Coach Bowls. Uh. He's like 110 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: a brother to me, um. But there are certain things 111 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: that I've learned in the past before Coach Bowls that 112 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: I might want to implement. It's right now. It's just 113 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: we're trying to mold it and we're gonna let our 114 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: players play and perform in the best way they can. 115 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: We'll put them in position to go out there and 116 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: make plays through our scheme. Whatever our scheme ends up 117 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: being the green dot helmet situation with Devon Messing some 118 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: time here at the start of camp, it's really the 119 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: green dot is it's just my way to communicate someone 120 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: on the field. You can put it up and you 121 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: typically want somebody to try the field three downs, and 122 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: we anticipate our insideline actor or safety being on the 123 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: field three down. So that's still you know, we can 124 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: put that on anybody, but normally it's a guy that 125 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: stands in front of huddle makes a call so he 126 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: can be the I guess, the communicator on the field. 127 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: How encouraging is it again, Darius william Which to come 128 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: back on the field with more on his brain. It's 129 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: really good. You sit back and you watch him a 130 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: great actorwards this and for us it's an offseason and 131 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: with his injury he was able to walk through. But 132 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: I'll be able to get on the field now. Getting 133 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: him on the field, seeing his movement, it's a really 134 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: good for us and for the other guys to be 135 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: able to see him and just see what he brings 136 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: to the team. You know what an elite defense is 137 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: supposed to look like. You feel like this team has 138 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: the personnel right now too more to more eventually become 139 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: an elite defense. That's the goal. That's what everyone works towards. 140 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: You want to be elite. Whatever team you're on, you 141 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: want to be elite, and you come out here every 142 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: day at training camp. In our message to them, you 143 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: gotta build and it's a process. You get there, you work, 144 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: You put the work in every day and then at 145 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: the end of the day, what happens happens. That's the goal. 146 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: But I asked you, do you think that the personality 147 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: is available here to become elite? That's the thing you 148 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: never know. You never know. You have great players. Injuries happen, 149 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: but we're constructed to go out there and get better 150 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: every day and we set goals for ourselves and our 151 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: goal is to be a great team, ads on until 152 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: Sunday and obviously play a game four days later. That 153 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: sort of challenges as that present, it's really uh, I 154 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: don't think I see it as a challenge. We have 155 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: to get the guys acclimated because the thing about it 156 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: is you wanted them to come back, and again we 157 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: talked about it's a process. It's not. Yeah, we play 158 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: a game in four days, but again the ultimate game 159 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: is Opening Day, so we're trying to build for that, 160 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, putting ourselves in pads. We'll get enough working 161 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: pass coach Peterson. Uh, I understand he has a in 162 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: for what we're gonna do, and we're gonna follow the 163 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: plan in you know, hit at full speed. A lot 164 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: of the Michael Josh album was working. We talked about 165 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: matters working with the younger guys. Josh works with Trayvon, 166 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: but he also works with underracted Cree agents. They've seen 167 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: that everything. So is it a side of Josh's leadership 168 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: and he's willing to get help any teammated and whatever 169 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: tacking more they made, or may I think it is 170 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: it's a sign of him being a leader, a good 171 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: teammate and also being the man he is. Again, No, however, 172 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: you got here, are you here now you're in jack Canville. 173 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: You can help us. So we're gonna try to get 174 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: everything we can out of you. So again, he's a 175 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: guy that's been through it. He understands it, so he's 176 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: able to spill his knowledge onto the young guys and 177 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: they're gravitating to him. You talk about a lot of 178 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: other new faces on the defense. What about fully Patakas 179 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: I know he kind of you guys mentioned when you 180 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: brought him in that he had some leadership qualities. What 181 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: have you thought about having Fully around so far? Oh, 182 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: it was good in that defensive line room, there's characters, 183 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: and you got a bunch of of the leaders, and 184 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: he's one of the guys. Again, you never can have 185 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: enough leaders. And we're lucky enough to have a group 186 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: of guys that have played in the league understand what 187 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: it takes to play in the league and they're able 188 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: to talk to the young guys and help us out 189 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: in that aspect. Andreesco a starter. We'll find out on 190 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: game day that ptenon who Andre Cisco? Are you pleased 191 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: with what he's doing in terms of what you're teaching them? 192 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: In the meeting rooms and now he's applying it. Really, 193 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: the entire defense right now is learning and they're getting 194 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: better every day. I'm pleased with whether they're at they're 195 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: just continue to get better. And that's what we look for. 196 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: We look for guys that you're gonna make a mistake. 197 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: If you make a mistake, the next two or three 198 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: days down the line, you don't make the same mistake. 199 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: And we're seeing that, so we're we're pleased.

Well, he's a guy, he's 206 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: been here, he understands, he's been in other places.
