1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Coming off really you can you can say it's been 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: six o t A practices too many camp practices, or 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: you can say we've been working really for seven eight 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: weeks together with with this group of guys, and however 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: you look at and however you slice it up, the 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: thing that's been for me um really really redeeming of 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: all the things that I think we've been doing pretty 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: well at is I think the classroom work has really 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: been great for us. I think you know, and everyone 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: wants to talk about on the field, but the truth is, 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: I was just talking to a couple of people about 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: we're not in pads right now, so a lot of 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: that is going to be too determined when we put 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: pads on and things start happening live, fast and physical. 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: But the things that are going on in the classroom, 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: because that's all the building blocks, that's where you address 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: the fundamental things that guys have to improve on. That's 18 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: where you address whether it's effort, execution, being on the 19 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: same page, communication, whatever that might be. That's where all 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: those building blocks are that happened. And I love how 21 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: this how this group meets, and that's it might be 22 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: a crazy thing for you to hear but I love 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: how they meet because guys ask questions, they're highly engaged. Um, 24 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: they're they're not just talking about scheme, they're talking about 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: what the opponent's gonna do to the scheme. And we're 26 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: having some of those kind of questions, some of some 27 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: of those kind of conversations right now, which is really 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: important to build those blocks now as we head into 29 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: the summer. Than been really into training camp. So UM, 30 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm really excited about that. And I think these these 31 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: last two days of mini camp been really competitive. Um, guys, 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: guys have guys have been you know, you know, there's 33 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: been some jow on going on, but it's been great conversation. 34 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: It's been guys challenging each other to get better. And 35 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about offensive defense. I'm talking about on 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Um, anything that's coach driven, 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: it's not going to be nearly as successful as things 38 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: that are player driven. And and our and our guys 39 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: are driving it right now, and they're the driving force 40 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: of the work through the driving force of the ownership 41 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: and the driving force of accountability on defense. And to me, 42 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: that's that's the other part that's been exciting. If there's 43 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: a couple of couple of points to kind of um 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: layout defensively, but other than that, UM, you know, we 45 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: have one more tomorrow than a week week, next week 46 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: or four days, and we've gotta stack good meetings and 47 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: good practices and when we get back and put pads on, 48 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: we'll really see where we're at. What you were just 49 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: talking about, James, with the meetings and the is that 50 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: a product of all the youth and just maybe so 51 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: much to learn trying to soak it all in as fast. 52 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: I think it's a product of a great mesh of 53 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: young and old, of some wise smart guys. That for 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: the guys that are returning that are the veterans, is 55 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: their second year in the system, So it's not really 56 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: just about what to do, it's how to do it. 57 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: Then it's our young guys asking good questions and come 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: and prepared and being challenged in their position rooms by 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: their coaches. UM to know more than just a B 60 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: and C to move asked that as soon as we could. 61 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: That was kind of an emphasis for us as a 62 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: staff as we went along. We really wanted to push 63 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: things as much as we can because we know we're 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: gonna have some younger players on on the field, and 65 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: we need those guys when they come out of this 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: phase of the season, and this is really a phase 67 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: of the season for us. Out of the phase of 68 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: the season, they need to be further ahead than maybe 69 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: we were a year ago with young guys or maybe 70 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: the other places that I've been so Um, I think 71 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: it's a good combination of both. I know it's tough 72 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: to evaluated line place that's earlier winning the pads on, 73 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: but you're pretty young up front with the pre j 74 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: Hill and Dexter Laurens and the album just kind of 75 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: your first impressions of that group and how they've caired 76 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: themselves and and Dexters a place. Yeah, Um, working extremely hard, 77 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: doing everything they're asked to do. M very aware of 78 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: things that they need to improve on. I think I 79 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: think I've said it before. We're really big on kind 80 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: of writing prescriptions for our players, so things that they 81 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: individually need to improve on, and we try to include 82 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: we don't try we include our players in those conversations 83 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: as well, because for you to think that you need 84 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: to work on one thing and I think you need 85 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: to work on another thing, we need to be on 86 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: the same page position, coach, the player, and I think 87 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: that group is one of the epitomes of that and 88 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: that when you talk about two of the three of 89 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: those guys who are more they're young, but they're not 90 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: young anymore. You know, they're veteran players. B J is 91 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: a veteran player now, he played a full season, he 92 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: started football games in the NFL. He's not he's not 93 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 1: a young player anymore. Um, but those guys are really aware. 94 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: UM for D lineman and front guys, individual fundamentals and techniques, 95 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: that's really what you can work on in this phase. 96 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: Then just knowing why you're doing what you're doing, but 97 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: just the the action of doing it. There's nothing like 98 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: putting pads on and getting pad under pad on. Guys 99 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: said yes today that the three of those guys are 100 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: a cross training across the lines, whether it's one, three, five, 101 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: shade everything. What about that their games? Do you see 102 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: you can do you think you could be more interchangeable 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: upfront than maybe you were last year? Um, I think 104 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: you have to be. In the way the league is now. 105 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: I think there's enough motions and adjustments and offensive guys 106 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: are good enough now that they're not for the most part. 107 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: They're not just gonna let a big nose to sit 108 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: there and play nose the whole game. They're gonna make 109 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: him slide and extend and play on guards, on edges 110 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: of guards, not just over centers. They're gonna motion and 111 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: do enough of that where guys have to be uh 112 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: interchangeable enough to be able to defend what we see 113 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: from an offensive standpoint, Um number one, that aint number two. 114 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: I think they all do have enough position flex to 115 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: do that, and I think really that's what we want 116 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: in that room. We want guys to have the flexibility 117 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: to play up and down the line, because a really 118 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: good NFL D line room has a great rotation and 119 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: it has guys really not you brought up the guys 120 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 1: in the one, two, and three spots, but the four, five, 121 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: six whole spots. Whoever, those guys are gaining up fifteen snaps, 122 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: twelve snaps, twenty snaps depending on the game. Um, those 123 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: are important snaps and important downs, just like the other 124 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: guys snaps. What kind of cogress have you seen from 125 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: Lorenzo Card from his vie year to naw Um? You know, 126 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: and I said this in the meeting room the other 127 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: day I love he's rushing with the plan right now. 128 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: He's you know, when you see him rush a year ago, 129 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: he was trying to get off the ball as quick 130 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: as he could and use his hands when when he could. 131 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: But now you see a guy that's aware of how 132 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: he wants to rush, aware of techniques that he wants 133 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: to rush with, and he's really you know, guys that 134 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: get into there as pass rushers as that that being 135 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: a position I've coached before. Personally, you see their best 136 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: best best growth in the two and then in the 137 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: year three and some of that just becomes they start 138 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: to figure out who they are as rushers, whether you know, 139 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: you're a Chandler Jones and you're really bloody rush, or 140 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: you're Robert Mathis and you're a speed counter guy. Um, 141 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: and that kind of list goes on and so forth, 142 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: and he's really starting to figure that out. So he's 143 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: kind of building his pass rush toolbox right now, and 144 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: I really like that about Hiven. The second thing is 145 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: he's practicing as hard as anybody on the football field 146 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: right now, and he is running around. He's been a 147 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: great example that we've been able to show defensively of 148 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: just straining an effort and finish, And I really like 149 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: those two things about it. You have to lass that 150 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: you're going to find a pass rush that is good 151 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: enough to really be good enough to help your backhead. Yeah, 152 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: I do believe we can and I believe that will 153 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: reveal itself when we get the training camp, when we 154 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: get pads on, when um, things start happening live where 155 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: there's the fifty fifty downs. Well, everyone wants to rush 156 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: well on third down, right, But it's all those fifty 157 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: fifty downs that are fifty run fifty pass that makes 158 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: up actually a larger portion of your rushes in the game. 159 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: That's when you've got to find out how good guys 160 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: are as rushers. And you won't know that until you 161 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: put pads on because it's run one snapped and in 162 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: supplas and pass and ability to disrupt the pocket on 163 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: those downs will be important for Usandre Baker, especially in 164 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: that that classroom environment here we're talking about. Yeah, he's 165 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: he's like all those young guys. He's he's working, he's 166 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: coming with good questions. Um and really you know him 167 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: both both, Baked Bill, you can go go on down 168 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: that list. Ham. All those guys are are really competing 169 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: their butts off to try to be the guy opposite Jack. 170 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: What do you expect from Aallex this ship second system, 171 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: Themallex and in the carre stepping up in Yeah, I'm sorry, 172 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: I can't hear of all this um again. He fits 173 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: into that guy. This was his second year in the 174 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: system now, where like you get a vet like a 175 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: b who's been in the system before, Antoin Beathet who's 176 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: been in the system before, who who really can get 177 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: in those conversations about how we're doing it and what 178 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: we should expect against certain coverages. That's where Trees at now. 179 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: So now he's going into his second year, a veteran player, 180 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: so he's really working on some of his core fundamental knows. 181 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: But the other side of it, hey, how are we 182 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: going to get attacking this coverage? Where's the soft spot 183 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: in the coverage? So we can try to defend the 184 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: soft spot because we know where we're gonna be good 185 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: in terms of routes that we might have to defend 186 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: or run fit issues in certain coverages. So I think 187 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: I think that's really what happens is guys come into 188 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: their second year and something are you managing Golden's workload intentionally, Like, 189 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: is this part of a plan to kind of ramp 190 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: him up? Yeah, I think all along with any guy 191 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: that's injured, you find when you can push him, when 192 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: you pull them back, and when you push them. At 193 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: the end of the day, all of us are shooting 194 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: for training camp. Everyone being ready to go by then 195 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: a d pent And that's not to say it's not 196 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: a hundred percent today, but we want all of our 197 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: guys ready to go when we get to training camp.
