00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: practice before the Ravens preseason finale at the Washington Commanders

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,920

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,279

00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: Good to see everybody, appreciate you being here. A good

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: day to day. Actually got a little weather, which is

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: kind of fun, so we got some work with the handling,

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 3: the ball handling with the rain and everything like that,

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 3: which was a nice bonus for us. Obviously cooled off.

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: I think the hurricane is coming.

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: Of a boarder.

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 4: I know what hurricane, whether you're.

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: There, it is. It has been cool the last couple

17
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 3: of days, so that's been kind of a good thing

18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 3: for our guys because we had so much heat during

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 3: training camp. So happy with the guys. Today's practice was

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: focused on the game Saturday. That's what the reps were

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: pointing towards. The first time we've done that this week,

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: so those guys can kind of get a feel for

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: the game and we're looking forward to the opportunity to

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: go down there and play John.

25
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 5: We didn't see them more out there at any upbeats

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 5: on him.

27
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he got his footstepped on. Like we said yesterday,

28
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: I think Chad had mentioned that they did a quick

29
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: X ray and there's not no damage or anything like that.

30
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's a little sore today. So we just

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: kept him in. But he's fine. He's gonna be good.

32
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 5: How much of a relief was that for you after

33
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 5: bearing that ideas?

34
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 3: It was a big relief. Yeah. I told the guys,

35
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 3: I said, prayers do get answered, because I was praying.

36
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: I was praying and God came through. So but but

37
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: he's good.

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 6: Do you sense around like this time of wins get

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 6: clipped for their roster cut down? Is there a different

40
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 6: especially with the guys that know they might be fitting

41
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 6: for their NFL lives here?

42
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 5: Is there a.

43
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 6: Change in just the you know, this environment or atmosphere

44
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 6: or anything when those guys.

45
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question. I think it's a subtle change.

46
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 6: You know.

47
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: I think it's a subtle change to our Uh Okay,

48
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: it's it's uh, it's real, you know, and uh and

49
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: you know what what's next for me? You know, am

50
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: I gonna have an opportunity here or or possibly somewhere else?

51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 3: I think that's on guy's minds.

52
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 5: What do you see.

53
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: From Chandler Martin? The matinee is one of those guys

54
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: that's Chandler Martin. What do you kind of choling Martin?

55
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,799

57
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: you know, I think he and Jay have both done

58
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: a really good job. Will coin COO's doing a good

59
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: job before he got hurt. Uh, but uh, those guys

60
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: have played good ball. You know, they've learned the defense

61
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: well and played well. And uh, you know I've done

62
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: well on special teams. So very happy. You know he's

63
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: he's in the mix. Uh, he's one of those guys

64
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: in the mix for sure.

65
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 7: We have mean seeing Patrick McCard in a while. Is

66
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 7: everything okay with him?

67
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a little soft tissue thing or just

68
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: hold him out this week, he'll be She'll be back

69
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: next week.

70
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 7: Total after kause, how much do you weigh what you

71
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 7: see in fact this versus what you're see in a game,

72
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 7: because it's.

73
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: Not always right. Yeah, I think it's a kind of

74
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: a combination of both. Your factor in both. I mean,

75
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: the body of working practice is important because there's so

76
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 3: much of it, and it does give you a real

77
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: good foundation. And I think the games are kind of

78
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: like the front porch in the yard. I mean the

79
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: games of the final the final piece. You know, you

80
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: want to put it all together and and see guys

81
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: do it under the lights as well, So ties together

82
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 3: that way.

83
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 6: Probably, John, We're talking to Tyler Santucin soon, the scarious respective.

84
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: What's he been like in first training camp here? Yeah,

85
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: Tyler's done a great job. He's a heck of a coach.

86
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: He proved that in college, you know, as a defensive

87
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: coordinator Georgia Tech and all the stops before that came

88
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: highly recommended. But he's a very detailed coach. He's he's

89
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: very determined that the guys have a clear picture, you know,

90
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: of what their job is. And I think he's a

91
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: really good teacher. So all those things, and he's doing

92
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: a heck of a job. I know, he's uh, he's motivated.

93
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: You know, he wants his guys to play well, and

94
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: you really appreciate that as a as a head coach. Okay,

95
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: pretty straightforward, all right, great? Thanks? All right.

96
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: Next year From New Ravens insidelinebackers coach Tyler Santucci.

Speaker 5: How's everyone doing good? Good?

98
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Yes?

99
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: Even that's gotten a lot of attention as maybe a

100
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: surprise gan to me press his higgins.

101
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: I mean, what what have you?

102
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 3: How would he kind of oppressed you over this last

103
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: this last period?

104
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: Yeah?

105
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 5: I think uh, I think Jay just goes about his business.

106
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 5: Every single day.

107
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 8: He gets better every single day, he gets corrections after

108
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 8: one time, he can take it from the meeting room

109
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 8: to the field pretty abruptly. He did it in college

110
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 8: at a really high level. He was very productive in

111
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 8: college in games, and I think that that's what he's

112
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 8: showcasing right when he plays in these games, he showcases

113
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 8: what he's best.

114
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 5: At, and that's playing football. And kudos to him.

115
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 8: He's put the work in since the day he's gotten here,

116
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 8: and he's worked extremely hard to understand the defense where

117
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 8: he needs to be when he needs to be there.

118
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 8: Really proud of him in his progress over these last

119
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 8: couple of weeks.

120
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 5: Since you've gotten here.

121
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: What has it been like just being part of this defense?

122
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 8: Working with Zach or well, yeah, like extremely grateful, just

123
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 8: mister Bashati, coach Harbaugh, Eric the Costa like to be

124
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 8: a part of this organization.

125
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 5: It's been phenomenal.

126
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 8: And then Zach Orr right, like, having somebody in the

127
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 8: coordinator position that's been in the shoes that I'm in now,

128
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 8: I think is invaluable in terms of like, hey, it's

129
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 8: my first time in the NFL. Number one, it's then,

130
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 8: but he's also been a linebacker coach, so working with rotations,

131
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 8: how practice goes, things of that nature, the expectations and

132
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 8: having him to lean on throughout this whole process has

133
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 8: been unbelievable. And then the whole organization, the linebacker unit.

134
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 8: Just having Roque as a sounding board, it's just been phenomenal.

135
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 5: It's been a great experience.

136
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 9: A founding board for a year.

137
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 5: He's just been here.

138
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 8: You know, he understands this place, He understands the defense

139
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 8: in terms of like, hey, this is this is how

140
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 8: I want to teach this. Does it make sense to you?

141
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 8: This is how I understand it, this is how I

142
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 8: want to teach it. And maybe it'll be a side

143
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 8: meeting with him prior to meeting with everybody else, just

144
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 8: so that the communication is clear, and there's not like

145
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 8: two languages within the room. There's a specific language we

146
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 8: use in the Ravens defense, and that starts with Zach

147
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 8: and then it goes through me and it filters through

148
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 8: the players, and I just want to make sure that

149
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 8: we're all on the same same page as we get

150
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 8: that going.

151
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: How does your background as a college coordinator help you

152
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: with being a position coach in the NFL And are

153
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: there aspects of the college game that that, like you

154
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: can kind of bring to the NFL.

155
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I think I think as a as a

156
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 8: position coach, first, you understand that your job is to,

157
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 8: you know, help the coordinator as much as you can

158
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 8: make his job as easy as possible. Is kind of

159
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 8: like what my thought always has been as a GA

160
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 8: doing that, as an assistant coach doing that, and now

161
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 8: as an assistant here doing the same thing, hopefully for Zach.

162
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 8: And then yeah, there's some different things that we see

163
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 8: in college that maybe haven't made its way to the

164
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 8: NFL yet, but hey, maybe it's on its way.

165
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 5: So hey, we just got to make sure we have

166
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: rules for A, B and C. We have rules for

167
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: this over here, but these.

168
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 8: Are the other things that could show up, and I think,

169
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 8: you know, Zach has been open to at least hearing

170
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 8: the discussion and building some rules maybe for some some

171
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 8: outlier things that that hadn't showed up yet.

172
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: John said, maybe ago that you came highly recommended because

173
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: anything you can share about kind of how this came

174
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: together and would have been like for you to have

175
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: to give that.

176
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 8: First NFL job, Well, yeah, it's it's it kind of

177
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 8: happened out of out of the blue. I got a

178
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 8: phone call. I was in Northern Virginia at a home

179
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 8: visit recruiting.

180
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 5: I got a phone call.

181
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 8: I did not anticipate it, not one bit, and uh yeah,

182
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 8: this is the closest I've ever been to home, to

183
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 8: my wife's home, to family, and to be at this

184
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 8: organization coaching this position.

185
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 5: I like hung up the phone, almost shed a tear.

186
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 8: Driving, had to pull over, called my wife and she

187
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 8: started crying.

188
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: So it's like it was just like one of those things.

189
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 8: Is like, you know, God works in mysterious ways, and

190
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 8: uh yeah, that was one of the ways that it

191
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 8: just kind of happened out of the blue, and.

192
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: Very grateful for it.

193
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, yep, Oh, I didn't know it was him and

194
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 8: I answered it because I usually just as long as

195
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 8: it doesn't say spam on it, I usually answer it.

196
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 8: So I did answer it, and uh, yeah it.

197
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: Was coachar Boss. That was pretty cool. We considered to

198
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 5: move to the NFL previous Well.

199
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 8: It's been a dream of mine quite honestly. Uh, and

200
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 8: I love coaching college football, but this has been a

201
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 8: long dream of mine to work with the best in

202
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 8: the world at what they do, coaches players alike, and

203
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 8: to get the opportunity. I felt like it was, you know,

204
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 8: all the stars kind of aligned with the place, the people,

205
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 8: and just what this this this place really had to

206
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 8: offer from a football standpoint.

207
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 10: Did you have like a mutual friend or colleague that

208
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 10: connected you in the coach Arball.

209
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean there was maybe some conversation, but no,

210
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 8: nothing mutual. At Dave Clausen is a is somebody that

211
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 8: I worked for i graduate. I was a graduate assistant

212
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 8: for him at Wake Forest. I know Coach Harbor and

213
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 8: he had had a pretty good relationship over the years,

214
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 8: So that would probably be the closest one, along with

215
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 8: Mike Elko, who also got to.

216
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 5: Build a little bit of a relationship with Coach Harball.

217
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 10: Tyl when you looked at some of the break downs

218
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 10: in the middle of the field last year and you

219
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 10: can talk to the guys, was there any kind of

220
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 10: common denominator that that stood out to you as just

221
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 10: breaking down what l actually led to some of those

222
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 10: bad moments for the defense.

223
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I don't know. You know, I can't

224
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 8: speak on what happened a year ago. I know I

225
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 8: have a job to do now that I'm here, and

226
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 8: that is to make sure that we're on the same

227
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 8: page every single time that we're out on the field together,

228
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 8: and that that may just be us together as linebackers,

229
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 8: that may be us, you know, working with dbs in

230
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 8: coverage or in run fits, and our job is to

231
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 8: do that and do that at the highest level because

232
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 8: that's the expectation in the standard here.

233
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 5: So we're going to continue to work at that.

234
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 8: And that's probably more of what I focused on rather

235
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 8: than what has happened, rather than what we can control.

236
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,239
Speaker 5: Since I've gotten.

237
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: Here, I seen from Trent and Simpson from when you

238
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: got here and until now.

239
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, he just he's a little bit like

240
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 8: Jay in terms of like shows up to work every

241
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 8: single day, is a warrior like meaning like, hasn't missed

242
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 8: a practice, hasn't missed a repid practice since the day

243
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 8: I've gotten here, has continued to progress. The small things

244
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 8: that we talk about in the meeting room. He shows

245
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 8: up and he does it out on the field, and

246
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 8: it's there was a little little bit of like an

247
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 8: aha moment in the spring and it was a small

248
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 8: the smallest thing. It was like an adjustment in his stance,

249
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 8: and he was like, Oh, I feel it.

250
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: That's a difference. That makes me feel a little bit

251
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 5: different in my stance.

252
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 8: And that's what we're working towards, those small things that

253
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 8: will make a difference, you know, in the games.

254
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 5: You know.

255
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 8: So I'm really proud of Trent and where he's come

256
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 8: up to this point. Yeah, Teddy, I think he's very

257
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 8: mature as a rookie. Obviously I've never had a rookie class,

258
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 8: but to me, he's mature, meaning he understands the game,

259
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 8: he understands the expectations. Uh, he takes the playbook, he

260
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 8: learns it. He's learning both positions right now, which is

261
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 8: not an easy thing to do. And he takes coaching well,

262
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 8: so he can do the same things. Like I've got

263
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 8: a great group like everyone in that room, they take coaching.

264
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 5: We can do it in the meeting room. We practice it.

265
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 5: We walked through it and they got it.

266
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 8: And that's what Teddy just like all those guys, he

267
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 8: just he has that point that that point to him

268
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 8: and it's really important to him. And anytime it's really

269
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 8: important to you, you know you you try really hard

270
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 8: to be right, and that's what these guys do and

271
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,119
Speaker 8: including Teddy.

272
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 5: Thank you so much.

273
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: Second year wide receiver tes Walker then addressed the media.

274
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 3: What were your goals coming into this camp.

275
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 5: And do you feel like.

276
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: How the gift that you want to die?

277
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 11: My goals are the same as coming in last year,

278
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 11: like finding that role in this offense, being another asset

279
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 11: for Lamar. And I feel like I've I've done a

280
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 11: good job in this camp showing my abilities and things

281
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 11: like that.

282
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 5: So I would you kind of describe your from that done?

283
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 5: You know, it's good.

284
00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 11: Catches like it's grown, like you know, just going up

285
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 11: to him like in locker room, conversating with him like

286
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 11: where he needs me to be?

287
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 5: Where you know he.

288
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 11: Asking me like where would I like the ball and

289
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 11: stuff like that, how you want me to break on

290
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 11: this route of that route, So pretty much just just

291
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 11: conversating and stuff like that and then going to show

292
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 11: it on the field. And that's why it's been the

293
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 11: way it's been.

294
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: What does a camplate this do you when you as

295
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: a young player, you know you're coming into rookie and

296
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: it's hard to you know, make plays consistently, and now

297
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: you're doing it in the training camp for like your

298
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: confidence and just you in your career.

299
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: What does the camp lay just did?

300
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 11: Like you said, I feel like it builds a lot

301
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 11: of confidence. You go out there making play and stuff. Uh,

302
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 11: the coaches see that and you know they come up

303
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 11: to you like that's all. Like I said, it just

304
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 11: builds a lot of confidence. And I feel like that's

305
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 11: what this camp has done.

306
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 7: And what ways do you think you've improved from last

307
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 7: year's camp to this year?

308
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 11: Think showing like I can you know, run every route

309
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 11: in the tree. You know last year and I came

310
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 11: in it was more so you just down the field,

311
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 11: third level threat. Like I feel like off these this camp,

312
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 11: these last couple of games, I showed I can win

313
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 11: underneath and stuff. So I feel like I've s I've

314
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 11: shown that I've been out I'm growing into a complete receiver.

315
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,160

336
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 11: be ready when that that number is called. So FOREL

337
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,920

338
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,400

391
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 5: off the top of my head, I can't think of

392
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 5: it right now, but very sure. Some things thoff, what's what's.

393

00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 11: I feel like he's gonna be, you know, a good

400
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 11: piece for us, going up and made a number.

401
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: Of contestant catches and practice. How much of that is

402
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: kind of the confidence factor that he talked about earlier,

403
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: just knowing it I can go up and make his.

404
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,440

Speaker 8: Uh? It.

408
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 11: It builds a lot of confidence, especially, you know, knowing

409
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 11: you have that a building and the coaches see that,

410
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 11: like it gives them more confidence, you know, to put

411
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 11: you out there in the game situation maybe you know,

412
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 11: ball ain't where it's suposed to be, but knowing they

413
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 11: got a receiver who can, like you know, go back

414
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 11: to it or adjust to it, he's gonna catch it.

415
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 11: That that you know means a lot to them. And

416
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 11: then like you know, d hop he coming up to

428
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 11: to go out there and do what they did. Like

00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 11: employs you aint throwing against the summer. Oh, yeah, it's

434
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 11: it's definitely helped me out, especially like getting out there

435
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 11: in the games, Like what I'm going against the the

436
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 11: best defense in the league every day, So you know,

437
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 11: it's nothing that I that I haven't seen already when

438
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 11: I get out there in the game, and that makes

439
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 11: it all makes me a lot more comfortable out there

440
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 11: and stuff.

441
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 5: So that like you know, a deep white.

442
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 10: Receiving with then you know, COCHRVA talks about the value

443
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 10: special teams. I guess what have kind of coach has

444
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 10: called you about how you can bring snaps.

445
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 9: For a regularly for season?

446
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

447
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 11: Uh, they ain't taught me how the specific but you know,

448
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 11: I kind of had an idea of, like, you know,

449
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 11: go out there and make play off special teams, like

450
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 11: I can you know, earn that trust to go out

451
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 11: there and do the same when we get out their

452
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 11: offense and stuff. So I would say special team has

453
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 11: been real big since house as I've got here last year.

454
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: I appreciate that.

455
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:04,840

457
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: and learning both the Will and Mike positions.

00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 6: coming in fresh learning the defense. You know, it's it's

463
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 6: a lot to take in at once, but just as

464
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 6: time goes on, you're going to progress naturally and just

465
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 6: working hard, taking a day by day. I think I've

466
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 6: been able to grow in every aspect, especially understanding the defense,

467
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,840

00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 6: So getting able to learn from a guy like that

493
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,720

494
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 6: rookie and just getting to see how he thinks about

495
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,200

Speaker 6: a ton and helped me grow really fast.

497
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 7: SEDDI a lot of stars on both sides of the

498
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 7: ball on this team. I mean, is there ever a

499
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 7: feeling of just wanting to keep up, you know, keep

500
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 7: up the pace that those guys are saying.

501

Speaker 9: I mean absolutely.

502
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 6: You know, when you've got great teammates around you, that's

503
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 6: just gonna push you to be better. And that's I

504
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 6: feel like a great, great part of being on this

505
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 6: team is that I have to elevate my game every

506
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 6: single day. And you know, the Iron Choppers Iron So

507
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 6: it's great to go against great players on offense and

508
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 6: have great players around me on defense to to you know,

509
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 6: really just bring the whole team up every single day.

510
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: How do you feel like you can not just make

511
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: the team but push your way onto the field. Do

512
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 4: you feel like special teams is maybe the first avenue

513
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 4: or what's what's your your buck?

514
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think every aspect of the game,

515
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 6: special teams, defense, It's really just about for me. I'm

516
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 6: focused on the process of every single day, improving every

517
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 6: single day, and you know, I'm pretty short sighted in

518
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 6: that aspect, just trying to do what I can today

519
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 6: and tomorrow to get better and just let the rest

520
00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 6: take care of itself.

521
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: You're saying teaching talks about how you're learning both intodline

522
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: backer positions that that's not an easy thing to do.

523
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: Did you do that in college? Also play play multiple positions,

524
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: and how have you gone about learning multiple spots?

525
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 9: Yeah?

526
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 6: So at Davis I spent four years there. I played

527
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 6: dime like the week sidebacker my whole time there. Then

528
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 6: when I got to cal I switched over to mike.

529
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 6: So I do have experience playing both, but never played

530
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 6: both at the same time. And I think having to

531
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 6: learn both really forces you to understand the defense, you

532
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 6: know on a deep level and just know what piece

533
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 6: of the puzzle you are and you know many different scenarios.

534
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 6: So it's been a process that I've really enjoyed just

535
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 6: getting to understand the defense on a deeper level. And yeah,

536
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 6: just getting to play both gets puts you in different

537
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 6: spots and more opportunities to make place.

538
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: That's something I easizing for everyone in the room, or

539
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: is that something you've specifically asked.

540
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 6: I mean, there's certain guys who play one and certain

541
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 6: guys who play both. I just happen to be one

542
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 6: of the guys who's who's learning both. All Right, thanks,

543
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,280
