I hope everyone's doing well, 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 2: staying cool. It was a nice, nice, warm day to day. 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: Just looking back the quick recap of the game. You know, 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: I thought our guys came out, played hard, they played physical. 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: The effort was good, and the execution was Some spots 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 2: were really good. Some spots we want to continue to 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: chase that perfection and the details of our work, but 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 2: we're just looking forward to Dallas. A lot of guys played, 14 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: and a lot of guys came out this week to 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: get better at the things that we might not have 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: done so well in the game. 17 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: Questions, good questions, very impressive. 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: How he was feel is that having a young guy 19 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: be that aggressed? Sure, you know, Jase, I don't think 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: it's it's him being it's him being aggressive. I think 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: it's him making decisions on the fly. Right that first one, 22 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: it was a short ball. He obviously checked outside and 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: realized that the gunners were nowhere close to him and 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: he had an opportunity to fill that ball and get vertical. 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: You know, those are the things that we saw on 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: his college tape. A young guy that can cleanly fill 27 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: the ball and that is not afraid to catch the 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: ball in traffic. I do believe if someone was in 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: his face and he needed to use the fair catch, 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: he would have done that. But I love everything he 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: did in the game, and obviously the next play was 32 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: even it was even better right the touchdown, Here's a 33 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 2: here's a kid. We talk about just being able to 34 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: fill the ball first and then everything after that is 35 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: a plus. He has all the after the catchability and 36 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: he showed that on that second rep. 37 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 4: Chris, you know, must be gratifying to see some of 38 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 4: that college stuff that you've seen on tape. 39 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 5: Come the opening round the. 40 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: Ball game, and he feel like. 41 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 4: Dante could be just a dynamic difference maker. View you 42 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 4: guys in the DAD this year. 43 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: You know, I just think Tay's got to come out 44 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: and continue to do what he's what he's done in college, 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: what he's done his entire career, and as a part returner, 46 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: the thing we you know, I stress a lot, man. 47 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: It's about filling the ball. It's about you know, making 48 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: the right decisions. And here's a guy that in college 49 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: he did that. He made the right decisions and uh 50 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: and those things will those players will pay off because 51 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 2: the other the other ten guys that are on the 52 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: field are going to do their job and block form 53 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: and make sure that we get those yards. 54 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: John said that. 55 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 4: Tyler is fortius off the yard. Want to miss that 56 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 4: he might have stubbed his toe. Just curious what you 57 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 4: saw on film. 58 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Going back and look at that. 59 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: Game, I saw the exact same thing. You know, I 60 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: just tried to reach forward and is uh the kick 61 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: foot hit the ground before the ball. He just kind 62 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: of missed it. But uh, you know you saw on 63 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: the next one on the on the fifty two yard 64 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 2: or the kids got all the confidence in the world 65 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: to come out and you know, just bang balls out 66 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: there and make field goals for colds. 67 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 4: There were a couple of jokers downs coverages that look 68 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 4: like a joint practice. The thinking the game that looked 69 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 4: like a lot of that if between you know, things 70 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 4: about what the process was for the a t and 71 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 4: making you better than the. 72 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 3: Game broken down coverage sorry, and the. 73 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 5: The George practice seemed to have some broken down coverages 74 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 5: or kick returns and forwards, but. 75 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 4: The game didn't talk about the. 76 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: Process of getting up you know, the practices. It just 77 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: gives us a better idea. We come out, we see 78 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 2: we're going against someone else, and this allows us Are 79 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: we in the right spots? Are we are we making 80 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: the block? Are we doing the things with the pads 81 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: on that's gonna spring blocks? 82 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: Right? 83 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: Kickoff return is about being on the right angles, being 84 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: on the right spot and blocking guys. And I thought 85 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: in the game we did that for the for the 86 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: most part. Right you look at Keaton, I thought Keaton 87 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: had some good returns, and you know, we're just gonna 88 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: run that. We're gonna run that play vertical. I thought 89 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: when Ali came in and called the exact same it 90 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: was the exact same play and the plages hitting downhill. 91 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: So it just gives us an opportunity to look at ourselves, 92 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: all right, make the corrections from the practice, and bring 93 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: it to the game. 94 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 5: Keaton said in college, you know he didn't return case 95 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 5: he was too valuable to use in that regarding said, 96 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 5: you know, he's learning position with progress. 97 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: You see him learning that spot. 98 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: I think for a guy like Keaton and a guy 99 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: any returner for that matter, right that did not return 100 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: in college. Uh, you know those guys were too valuable 101 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: for their for their offense. 102 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Right. 103 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: But here man, it's like he's willing to do whatever 104 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: it takes and he has developed and this play is 105 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: a little bit different now, right. Uh, A lot of 106 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: things happen a lot, a lot quicker. If a guy 107 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: misses a block, now it's that cover guy right on 108 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 2: the returner. So these plays they hit downhill a lot quicker. 109 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: But his development, he's fine. He's done a great job. Look, 110 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: we saw him back there last year. He has success 111 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: for us. We'll continue to have success. 112 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: Uh. 113 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 2: The better we get at blocking, the better we'll get 114 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: a return to football. 115 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 4: You know, we shouldn't make a couple of the out 116 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 4: of faeems like. 117 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: The shorter range. 118 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: Sure, that's the playout with kind of what goes into 119 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 4: that or that's the soft office. 120 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: The thought processes for us to just be consistent, right, 121 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 2: I talk about this last week. In the last two years, 122 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: eighty percent of our kicks, pats and kicks included came 123 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: from under forty yards, So we want to be good 124 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 2: at the eighty percent and then and we're working on 125 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 2: that process for those longer kicks. Again, he has the 126 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: leg strength to do that. But let's be good at 127 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 2: where we need to be good at first, Chris, last 128 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 2: year marked the. 129 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 5: First year the dynamic kickoff. 130 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 4: Of this year, they moved to touchbacks. 131 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: At thirty five. 132 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 5: Given that, how many more kickoffs do we expect this 133 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 5: year when. 134 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: You return for you know, I don't know the exact number. 135 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: I do believe a lot of teams will put the 136 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: ball in play a lot more. Just watching some of 137 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 2: the cross the preseason, seeing a lot of teams want 138 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 2: to cover kicks and it's a great opportunity for us 139 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: to get to work right. It's an opportunity for us 140 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: to go live. But whatever that number is, we still 141 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: got to be doing a really good job of covering 142 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: those kicks. I can't give you an exact number. I 143 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: do believe it's going to go up. 144 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 6: Chris Tyler wept to us to just to to kick off. 145 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 6: Like you're talking about the one of you plan. 146 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 5: If you have him kick off the regular season too, 147 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 5: it's what extent are you hoping for him? 148 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 3: To just consistency hitting the. 149 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 5: Lady so versus driving some of those more directional, trickier 150 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 5: picks that are hard. 151 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 2: That's gonna be a that's gonna be a process of 152 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: what we think is good for us as a team. 153 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: I know right now in the preseason, we're gonna put 154 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: that ball in play because we want our we want 155 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: our cover guys to go out and cover. We'll do 156 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: a lot of different things. We'll play the ball in 157 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: a lot of different spots, but as we move forward 158 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 2: to the regular season, we'll do a couple of different things. 159 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: Thank you. 160 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Next up, defensive coordinator talks about Michael Phelps and Bray 161 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: Lewis visiting today's training camp practice. 162 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: What's going on?

So it was a great 176 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: message from him. It was fired up. I didn't know 177 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: he was coming in. 178 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 4: Zach, so much talk about Mike bring this offseason. 179 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: Finally get to see him in a game. 180 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: What did you have? 181 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: Man? He played, He played his butt off. Man. He 182 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: did a great job. And I think I think he'll 183 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: tell you is that he's just scratching the surface, like 184 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: he could have played a lot better. But he played 185 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: real good, which is which is a testament to his 186 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: mindset and how he approaches things. But I think he 187 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: displayed everything that you needed to see from a premiered 188 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: edge player in this league. He was physical against the run. 189 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: He showed the ability to get off the ball and 190 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: affect the quarterback. He showed he can beat you with speed, 191 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: can beat you with power, and he can counter at 192 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 3: the level. So it was a great start for him. 193 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: Look forward to seeing him out there again Saturday. One 194 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 3: more question. 195 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: You know, obviously you played the linebacker position. Dad, You 196 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 4: see some guys out there right now. Do you remember 197 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 4: what it was like playing the position and getting sort 198 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: of the directors? 199 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was. It was great. Like when 200 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: I first got here, he was still on the cutups. 201 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: And why wouldn't you listen to people who've done it 202 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 3: before you? 203 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 5: Right? 204 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: And then not only that, has he done it before you? 205 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: He did at the highest level for so long. I mean, 206 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: to play linebacker forever, sixteen seventeen years, to be a 207 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, to win Defensive Player of the Year 208 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 3: as an inside linebacker is a tough thing to do, 209 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 3: and he did it. Man. But I mean I remember 210 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 3: my first time get a chance to meet him. I 211 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 3: was just like in shock, man, like the guy who 212 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: I looked up to, who definitely the best linebacker ever 213 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: played the game. Now now I'm at where he was at, 214 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: So it was just a real moment. On a similar noment, 215 00:08:50,320 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: Michael Thumbs, it was great having another legend, man, Michael Phelps. 216 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 3: He think he said he won twenty three gold medals, man, 217 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: which is amazing. I mean, obviously one of the best. 218 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 3: Probably he is the best swimmer of all times all 219 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: I know of I'm not gonna say I'm a big 220 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 3: swimming fan, but I know I know Michael Phelps. I've 221 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: been knowing him, but definitely as a as an Olympic 222 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: gold medalist, regardless of sport, Michael Phelps is you have 223 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: to talk about him, have to speak his name. And 224 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: I think it was it was neat having him and 225 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: Ray come talk to us because the message was the same. 226 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: And that's one thing you notice when you when you 227 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: listen to the greats, when you study the greats, you wonder, man, 228 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: how do they do such great things in the highest 229 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: tense moments. And it all leads back to the work 230 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: that nobody sees. And that's what Michael Phelps talked about. 231 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 3: So you know, Ray talked about preparation. Michael Phelps talked 232 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 3: about preparation as well.

He stayed, 258 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 3: he stays extra and I think DJ, Megan Rosberg Andrew 259 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: they've done a great job with him and he's continued 260 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 3: to grow. He's row at the game of football. So 261 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 3: you get a guy who's who's that powerful, that strong 262 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: athletic too, to kind of put the things together in 263 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 3: the game slow down for them, it was real good 264 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 3: to see.

I think 267 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 3: the first thing is health. Both of those guys are 268 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: real talented players, man, and we knew that it's a 269 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: reason why they're they're on our team, but you know, 270 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 3: the injury bug kind of got got them and it 271 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 3: slowed their development process down. Now they've been healthy, man, 272 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: this whole off season program, and it's done wonders for them. 273 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 3: They've continued to get better and better and better. And 274 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 3: both of them played well in that game, and we 275 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 3: know we really please with where they're at.

So 279 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: that's what we're that's what we're constantly pushing, constantly prying 280 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 3: those guys and about man, it's getting the most out 281 00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 3: of them. 282 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 4: John said that it feels like what they really excel. 283 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 3: At the job of. 284 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 4: Physicality and the unique contact players that you sort of 285 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: one of the last things to come along. 286 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: When you're when you're delping the injuries. 287 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 4: Those guys that dealt. 288 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: With yeah, because when you know now they're fully im 289 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: they've been fully immersed to the strength program, the performance program, 290 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 3: like we got a great strength and performance of staff here. 291 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 5: Man. 292 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 3: They do, they do a wonderful job. But you know, 293 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: when you're injured, when you're injured, your focus is rehab. Yeah, 294 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: you're getting stronger, you're lifting, but the main thing is 295 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: you're trying to get your injury stuff handled. Now when 296 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 3: you don't have any injuries, now you can really take 297 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 3: your your strength and your power and your explosiveness to 298 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: a whole other level. And those guys have done that. 299 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: I mean, those guys were striking people. They've been striking 300 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: people out here in practice. You saw it in the 301 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 3: game and just the way the way we want our 302 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 3: guys to play here on the edge. It's a physical 303 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 3: mindset to start off with. 304 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 5: Got to know many ful feedback you guys in the five. 305 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I mean you know, I mean Mamar said 306 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: something to you last week about how how we attacking 307 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 3: the ball and how the offensive guys have to tuck 308 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: the ball and put it away, and the offensive guys 309 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 3: know that we're attacking it, we're coming forward. So even 310 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 3: when they're not looking, even when they think the balls 311 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: put away, we're gonna punt, We're gonna punch. We're gonna 312 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 3: get eleven hats to the football and do that. So 313 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: I think we've been more intentional about that as a 314 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: coaching staff. I think it's been a director reflection with 315 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: our players and they take an ownership of it. We've 316 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: gotten the football, you know, pretty much every single day, 317 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: which is a real good sign. 318 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 5: Exactly so from champion Barton Jay Higgins the hand of 319 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 5: the game with. 320 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 3: A higgo Yeah, I told you guys last time was 321 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: up here.

And Jay Higgins and Chandla 324 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 3: Martin definitely did that. 325 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: Man. 326 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: I'm excited about those two young drafted rookie linebackers. I 327 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: mean they probably should have been drafted. Honestly, you combine 328 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: their their IQ, they know how to play the game, 329 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 3: they pick up the defense the system really quickly, and 330 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 3: they went out there and showed it on game day. 331 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: I mean, those guys are excited fourth quarter. I mean, 332 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 3: those dudes were asking for more reps. I'm like, man, look, 333 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: we trying to get off the field as quickly as possible, 334 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: but they wanted to go out there and continue to 335 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 3: go out there and play man, And that's what we 336 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 3: want men. We want guys who love to play football, 337 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 3: and those are two of the guys that definitely love 338 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 3: playing ball. 339 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 5: So if you guys are really dams and talented secondary, 340 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 5: but you also got multiple guys that can play inside, 341 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 5: how interchange a nickel position? 342 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be. It could be interchangeable, man, just 343 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 3: based off of a scheme that you're playing, and based 344 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: off of personnel that you're playing, Like you might like 345 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: a different guy in the slot this week opposed to 346 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: a different week, because who who what they're doing, whether 347 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: it's in the run game or in the past game, 348 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: they're putting a specific player in that position. So I 349 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: think it's good good man. The slot corner position is 350 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: not an easy position to play. You know, you you 351 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: basically you're a corner, your safety, you're a linebacker, inside 352 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 3: and outside linebacker all in one. So it's a lot 353 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 3: that goes into it. So you have to you have 354 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: to know the whole defense in and out to play 355 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: that position. So I think it's a it's a credit 356 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: to the football IQ that our guys got that they 357 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 3: can go in there and play, and then credit to 358 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: the coaches for getting those guys prepared. So you never know, 359 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: like you never know in the game how you might 360 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 3: have to shuffle guys around based off of injuries or 361 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 3: based off of performance. So I think it's good that 362 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 3: we can have multiple guys who can go fill that 363 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: spot in a pinch. Appreciate y'all. Thank you. 364 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: Finally, you'll hear from offensive coordinator Todd Munkin on the 365 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: potential for the young offensive weapons. 366 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: With Trooper Russians. 367 00:15:53,760 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 4: He's going to get some more on the sofa and 368 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 4: mom recently. But as you, how much does it change 369 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 4: when the nation back in time. 370 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 6: Well, it's very simple. It's, uh, you're not running QB 371 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 6: driven offense. I mean, as athletic as Cooper is, we're 372 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 6: not going to use him. Probably on the perimeter. It's 373 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 6: gonna have to be spotted. They're similar in terms of 374 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 6: their mental approach to the game. There's not really anything 375 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 6: we can't do conceptually, very similar very smart, see the 376 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 6: field accurate. Just probably the QB drivens just naturally everybody 377 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 6: would know that. I'm not giving away any secrets. 378 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 4: How do you kind of take these of the QB 379 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 4: performances from last games? 380 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: John? 381 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 4: Obviously obviously you want more than fifty nine yards, John said, 382 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 4: but just individually, how do you feel like those guys. 383 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 5: Going out like that? 384 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 6: Well, we got to play better around them. I mean 385 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 6: that's the start of it. It's a team game. I mean, 386 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 6: we got to protect, we got to run the routes, 387 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 6: and they got they got to play better. I gotta 388 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 6: call it better for him. I mean, it's all the above. 389 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 6: When you don't in one aspect of all we did, 390 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 6: because I thought we ran the ball pretty well. An 391 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 6: aspect of it, which is throwing the football. We got 392 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 6: to get better and we're going to continue to get 393 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 6: after it and we'll see comes Saturday. But I'm excited. 394 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 6: I like I like Coop, I like Dev, I like 395 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 6: our guys. We just got to be a lot more 396 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 6: efficient in what we're doing across the board. Welcome. 397 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 5: I'm curious what you see Corey Bullock when a little 398 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 5: playing center, he'll pour a house tackle in center. 399 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 6: What did you see that done a great job? I 400 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 6: mean he's done a great job. I'll really go back 401 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 6: to last year. You know, when a player makes the 402 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 6: practice squad, you try to elaborate to them, like you know, 403 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 6: this is a one year opportunity, maybe more. But we're 404 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 6: here here to help us from practice, but to develop. Like, 405 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 6: don't take it as just hey, I go out there 406 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 6: and read a card and I show up at the building. 407 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 6: He didn't do that. I mean he worked every day, 408 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 6: got better every day. Coach war Up's done a great 409 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 6: job with him. I mean he's a very conscientious young 410 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 6: man and he's playing a really high level right now. 411 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 6: Excited for him and for us. 412 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: One of the best in the NFL after it. But 413 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 4: when you hit your sass this year, you know that quartz, 414 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 4: if you picked up that passes, I guess you haven't 415 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 4: an of philosophy when it comes to quarterback. If your 416 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: things during kind of drinking it right now? 417 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 6: Well, you don't like interceptions ever, I mean I don't care. 418 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 6: I don't like his fumbling it. I don't like bad snaps. 419 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 6: I mean, because we're we're practicing at an intentional level 420 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 6: to be elit. Come Sunday, or Saturday whenever that is. 421 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 6: I just go back last year. I think we had 422 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 6: a practice. What we have eight or nine picks, for 423 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 6: God's sakes, we threw it up like we're getting paid. 424 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 3: To do it. So obviously you learn from that. 425 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 6: Right, If you don't throw interceptions in practice, you don't 426 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 6: get better, Right, that's what you're supposed to do when 427 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 6: you learn from it. What windows you can throw into 428 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 6: the receivers, learn scramble rules, being friendly, so all those 429 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 6: things are part of it. He's never going to change that. 430 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 6: I mean, that's just not who he is. If he 431 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 6: doesn't see it, he's not going to throw it. I mean, 432 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 6: you can go back to last year. I mean you 433 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 6: can't even think think of Oh I can't, I'll say me, 434 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 6: I can't think of ones where like the ball bounced 435 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 6: off a defender's chest like he didn't see him, or 436 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 6: it got tipped. No, I mean that didn't happen. And 437 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 6: we're just going to keep We're going to continue that. 438 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 6: And he's he's elite at it, at seeing the field. 439 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 5: Ye, Mars even. 440 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: Says that he wanted to keep it. Yeah, you know 441 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 3: he's one too. He's he's twenty three months to keep 442 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 3: him running. Have you seen anything this summer and that 443 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 3: is maybe it's as sold that his game where there 444 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 3: has been some money to do somethin someone subtle. 445 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's uh with every year that we're 446 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 6: running the same offense and we're together, you know, we 447 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 6: communicate better, get to learn each other better, likes dislikes, 448 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 6: how he sees the game, how I see it, how 449 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 6: we bring it together, our staff, because it's not just 450 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 6: me or him, it's ever it's the team, it's our staff. 451 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 3: But his commanded the line of scrimmage. 452 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 6: I think he's doing a better job with our guys 453 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 6: consistently what he expects from them and being on the 454 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 6: same page.

You know, even though he's been great throughout 480 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: his career, most of what we've seeing in this training 481 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 4: camp is sort of that short intermediate range where has 482 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 4: a lot of damage. Sort of the intention to get 483 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 4: him all over the field where you can make damage wherever, 484 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 4: or you sort of does that deep ball kind of 485 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 4: just take a little longer to. 486 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: Develop attle more. 487 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 6: Well, it's part of that's true, Like we are trying 488 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 6: to move him around, we're trying to be able to 489 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 6: be versatile with our guys, our top guys and everybody 490 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 6: that we have. The other is, you know, we're we're 491 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 6: managing his reps like so you know that doesn't allow 492 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 6: for those opportunities to show up. 493 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: That's really what it is. 494 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 6: If you took the number of deep balls we've hit 495 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 6: him on by the number of reps, it's probably up 496 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 6: there with everybody else that we've had.

It looked like it was back 500 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 5: a lot closer with twenty twenty three. You recently talk 501 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 5: about with all the talent you have on the offensive 502 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 5: side of all the different formations, but specifically the pony fats. 503 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 5: When you have a Derrick Henery, you have a Justiceil, 504 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 5: you have a key mission. Of all of them done 505 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 5: steel sets.

So that's what you're getting at, which is true. 509 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 6: You know, our ability to be versatile not only by 510 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 6: run pass modes, it's also by who's out there, what grouping, 511 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 6: what do we do out of each group? But we 512 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 6: certainly have to look at that a lot more, you know, 513 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 6: as we continue to move forward, because having you know, 514 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 6: keeping back and also Rashein Ali, those guys are really 515 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 6: good players. 516 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 4: How would you evacuated with the suffer probably in the 517 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 4: preseason opener, and then with him slimming down, do you. 518 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 3: Think that gives you more versatility. 519 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 5: Work which you can do to get you well. 520 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 6: So I'm so proud of Daniel.

As I was saying earlier, I think you know, 529 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 6: we were talking like if the internet posts someone walking 530 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 6: into church, it doesn't make him a great Christian. It 531 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 6: just means they walked into church. They picked out one 532 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 6: clip of it. Okay, that's not Daniel. Daniel's been outstanding 533 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 6: throughout all of camp and has played his rear endoff 534 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 6: and we're excited where he's at now and where he's 535 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 6: going to continue to grow. 536 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 4: Do you hear any of the things that maybe some 537 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 4: of the fans have to say, And if you do 538 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 4: or see it, how do you fond to that stuff 539 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 4: in that moment or with him? 540 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 5: Well? 541 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 3: I don't. 542 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 6: First of I don't respond to it. I'm not naive 543 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 6: to seeing those things. But there was one play, there 544 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 6: was one example, Like I can't imagine any of us 545 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 6: one example of something in our life, and that's who 546 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:18,479 Speaker 6: they are. 547 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: That's the silliest I've ever heard. 548 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 3: In my life.
