Yeah, that's what 56 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Uh, good character. Um. You know, some people 57 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: from the media or from TV might think that, you know, 58 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: he's a big personality and he is. H he's definitely 59 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: uh um confident I and UM in a good way though. 60 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: You know, he's confident, not too cocky or anything like that. 61 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: And he knows he's a rookie. Um, you know, he 62 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: knows when it's time for him to like, you know, 63 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: do his duties as a rookie and stuff like that. 64 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, he's a good kids in the 65 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: feeling room or whatever, not so much yet. Um, you know, 66 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: we're not really in the same room, so I think 67 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: we would have to go out of our way to 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: like meet up and like talk about things because we're 69 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: not really in the same room. And uh, you know, 70 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: my room just got loaded with a bunch of young 71 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: guys and new guys, so I'm kind of giving them 72 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: a lot of my attention right now. And uh, but 73 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: I definitely want to chop it up with him, and 74 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, see where he's at. I know 75 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: it's only three o t E. Frants. Are you saying 76 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: anything different from the offensive line with probably running the show? 77 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, the whole team feels different as a whole, 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: So it's I don't I don't really think I've put 79 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: too much emphasis on the offensive line, but overall, you know, 80 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: Drew's not back fully, so I feel like there's still 81 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: like a lot of movement pieces. So it's hard for 82 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: me to like say, like what it's looking like right now, 83 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: knowing that it's going to be different, you know, come 84 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: camp or a season. Um, but I know, so far, 85 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, it's been a really good competition level on 86 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. We've been doing a good 87 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: job a lot of taking care of each other. But 88 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: the online of D line has been competing pretty well 89 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: sort of gives out The vibe I'm getting is just 90 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: the excitement that people coming into work with.

And 94 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: I think when you're happy about um, you know all 95 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,679 Speaker 1: those things that I just said, it makes it easier 96 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: to come into work and have a great attitude and 97 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: great energy and and you know it shows in practice 98 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: how we're flying around out there and even today when 99 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: we had that life small little competition period, like you 100 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: hear all the defense like getting loud and stuff like that, 101 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: and it's just it's a contagious energy that's being brought 102 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: right now. But you guys had a lot of turnover 103 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: in the second arey.

We're gonna we're gonna bring it. And I 168 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: love that top of mentality, and U like the way 169 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm seeing and he's like making the offense react to 170 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: us instead of the opposite way around. It's just like 171 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: far progressive pense you've played it. Does it remind you 172 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: of all of any previous ones that you're playing this. 173 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: This probably is one of the most aggressive defenses for sure. Um, 174 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: just because already in O t AS we've been showing 175 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: a lot of blitz patterns and pressures and and also 176 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: what I like about it is we we talked about 177 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: learning that the defense as a concept because, um, you know, 178 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: even even though it's like showing at the D linement 179 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: on paper doing this, it's like at any moment, that 180 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: could be an outside linebacker, that could be a linebacker, 181 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: or I could be outside. It's just like we kind 182 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: of have to learn the whole defense because like it 183 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: could be the same pattern, but different guys like moving 184 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: around running the same pattern. And I think that makes 185 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: it even more aggressive and harder for offenses to read.
