1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Marcus. First of all, I got to know your T shirt.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 2: Thanks if you.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you seen video or since a video film

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 3: of Robinson playing football at U c L A have.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 4: I I haven't seen the film of him playing I

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 4: haven't seen that more more of a baseball said I played.

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 4: Uh that was actually the baseball with my first sport,

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 4: doing T ball at three at the age of three. Okay,

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 4: So it's been it's been very good for me. You know,

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 4: I like black history, and for me, I always think

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 4: about like, uh, you know, I always wear it type

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: different type of you know, representing black black history, different

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 4: things like that.

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate there's a book that forgotten first. Have

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: you read that yet?

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: Okay, no, I'll read that.

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: Kenny Washington, wood He Strode, uh, Marion Motley, Bill Willis.

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 3: But also Robinson played football in the same backfield as

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: Washington and Strode at U c L. A outstanding football player.

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you.

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: I know you did both, but I never actually like

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 4: win and look, you know, and just see them play

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 4: football on it.

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway you.

25
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: Can find some YouTube it It's sometimes I know you're

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: busy enough for you, but you're watching.

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: You make time.

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: I want to ask you just about your personal experience

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: this offseason, which wasn't much of an off season for you,

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: I guess, you know, the All Star circuit. What was

31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: it like having those opportunities to coach in the various

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: All Star Games?

33
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: How much better at coach are you today as a result?

34
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 4: I think when you look back at it, even when

35
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: I first started coaching, I mean I look at I

36
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 4: think about it and reflect on how much you.

37
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: Know, I've improved over the years.

38
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: And I think that's really what you try to do

39
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: each year every off season. You try to find some

40
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 4: things to improve on, also get feedback from players different coaches, uh,

41
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: and then try to work on your weaknesses that you

42
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: think that what your weaknesses are and try to use

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: that off season to do that. And just answering your question,

44
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: the All Star Game, I think it was good for

45
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: me to one get around other coaches to kind of

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: see how other coaches do different things and then be

47
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 4: a relationship with other coaches, and then at the same

48
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: time being able to evaluate some of the players throughout

49
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: the All Star Game, which was which was unique for us,

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: and get a first hand, you know, look at them

51
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 4: on the field in the classroom. You know, how they

52
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: are around their teammates, you know, the ability to learn,

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 4: the ability to transfer to what they learned to the field,

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: and and just show their talents. So I think that

55
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: was overall good for me from a coaching standpoint and

56
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: from an evaluator standpoint.

57
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: And just finally pick up on that note, are you

58
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: pleased with what you've seen from the young guys or

59
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 3: what are your impressions of the first.

60
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Year guys and how they've adjusted thus far? And I'm

61
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: thinking of Keon White, you know, foremost among them.

62
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think all these guys have done a good

63
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: job of being true professionals and trying to really earn

64
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: or respect their teammates and coaches. So you know, they've

65
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 4: done a good job of coming in the building trying

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 4: to soak up all the knowledge, which there is a

67
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 4: lot of knowledge that you know they're getting thrown around

68
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 4: from you know, all the guys from every position where

69
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 4: there's offense, defense, special teams, UH, trying to learn it all,

70
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 4: trying to apply it, and then trying to find a

71
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: routine as they're you know, building their NFL career.

72
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: So I think they've all done.

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: A great job of doing that and learning from their

74
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: peers on different things that they've that helped.

75
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Them out in their career. Thank you, Marcus problem, thank you.

76
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: And next question Chris Ryan, Hey, can you hear me?

77
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: All right?

78
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: I can hear you now, and then we're going back

79
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: to the zoom bill. It's pretty similar.

80
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 6: So when it comes to leadership in this defense, obviously

81
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 6: you know Dev was a huge, huge impact. This is

82
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 6: in your area obviously obviously of specificity, but you know

83
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 6: when it comes to the defensive line or the defense

84
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 6: as a whole. But what happens when that type of

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 6: leadership vacuum exists and there's either multiple or individual guys

86
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 6: that have to try to fill it and what how

87
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 6: have you seen that developing through training camp?

88
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? They obsolutely.

89
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 4: You know, Dev was a great leader for our defense

90
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: for many many years and uh, you know, we hate

91
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: to lose him, but we did very happy for him

92
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 4: with there's retirement and the stuff that he has going

93
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: on now. But I think that you always you know,

94
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 4: you're always building or trying to help build leaders within

95
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: the team. So you always have, like, you know, your leaders,

96
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: then you have kind of your second tier leaders that

97
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 4: you hope that grow into the first tier leaders and

98
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: so for when times like this happen, those guys are

99
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 4: ready for the opportunity. And I think that's a big

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: part of you know, a team, a football team, whether

101
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: it's offense, defense, whatever, whatever position you're at, is trying

102
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: to build good leaders that can lead your football team

103
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 4: or position room and lead in their way, in their

104
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: own unique way, whatever that might be, you know, through

105
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: through action, through words, by the you know, whether it's

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: in the classroom. So that's that's something that we're always

107
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: looking at. You know, within players, do they have leadership qualities?

108
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 4: You know, whether their characteristics, you know, whether they're traits

109
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: that they have, and we try to you know, mold

110
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: those traits and help build those traits up that way

111
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: they can you know, one day become leaders of our

112
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 4: football team. You look at a guy like Didrich Guise,

113
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: who you know, who's you know, going on his seventh

114
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: year and him and I both came in together, you know,

115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: me as a coach, him as a player, and for

116
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 4: him to be a captain last year, you know, he's

117
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: he's developed each year into that role and now.

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: You know, his teammates, his teammates view him.

119
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: As a captain or where they did last year, viewed

120
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: him as a captain last year, and you know that's

121
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 4: kind of how it is.

122
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: He developed that every year.

123
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 4: You know, it's not just one day, is day after day,

124
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 4: you know, building those traits, molding those traits and then

125
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: kind of like help light lighting the fire within those

126
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: trade as a coaching staff or you know, as other players.

127
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 6: And I want to ask you about Christian Barmore for

128
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 6: a second as well. What have you seen from from

129
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 6: him so far in camp and what are you trying

130
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 6: to work with him on to kind of meet that

131
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 6: that next level that it seems like he is capable of.

132
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Christian, you know, did a good, really

133
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 4: good job of you know, coming ready focused, with a

134
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 4: clear mindset, with a you know, in shape and ready

135
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 4: to work. So he's done a really good job for us,

136
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: you know obviously just like the rest of our guys,

137
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 4: they're trying to do whatever they need to do to

138
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 4: help the football team win. And he's he's doing that

139
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: for us, you know every day.

140
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: Thanks appreciate it, yep, thank you.

141
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 5: And the next question Phil Perry plays Marcus, how's it.

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: Going going good? How you doing? I'm good?

143
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I didn't want to ask about Christian as well.

144
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: It sounds like he showed up ready to go. What

145
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: kind of potential do you think he does have the markets?

146
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: I know he dealt with some injury last year.

147
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 6: I think he only played in ten games.

148
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: What kind of what kind of potential do you do

149
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: you see in Christian?

150
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: Well, I will see I would say for for Christian

151
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: and really for all our players. You know, we're all

152
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: about developing I would say the mind, body, and.

153
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: Soul for all our players.

154
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: And I think if we have all three of those

155
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: things in all our players, this guy's the limit for anybody,

156
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: you know. So when we talk about that within the

157
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: defensive line room, developing our mind, developing our body, working

158
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,960
