1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Wooo, what's that? How you fell be back in nine three?

2
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: That's a great feeling, you know, back to my roots

3
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: ward three in high school. So it's pretty dope to

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: to be able to, you know, have a full circle moment.

5
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: Is there any like meaning behind it? Or is just nah?

6
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: I mean I grew up, you know, just liking the

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: number three obviously, uh, watching Dwayne Wade back in the

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: day and stuff and award in high school, so I

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: mean it's a special number to me.

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: What's it been like through the first few days. I

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: know it's no patch you guys playing physical position, but

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: how do you feel the linebacker group is the hoolest

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: done the first few dance here? But we've been doing

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good job, you know.

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: It's it's it's the start of something, you know, it's

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: the beginning, and you know, we're just trying to screen

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: together as many days, as many days as we can

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: and just try to lean on one another and continue

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: to get better each day.

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: What's your early impressions of the deeper pass as cool?

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 1: It's really you really can't judge it right now.

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's day two, so we'll we'll find

23
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: our identity, you know, as we go on, and you know,

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: just just keep putting everything together.

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: Anyone standing out to you at all, whether it fellow

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,040

Speaker 2: Specialist player, but a sapor Yeah, a great dude like

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: you know that play linebacker as well. You know, bring

38
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: some speed to our room for sure. Like I said,

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: it's is he. You know he gonna be a great

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: tradition this year.

41
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: What do you see? If Johnson said, bart.

42
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: Gamut uch is uce you know what you saw last season?

43
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: It is what you see now. You know, great guy speed,

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: you know, can do everything.

45
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: You know.

46
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: Definitely somebody out you know I look up to, you know,

47
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: even though he may be younger, but you know he can

48
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: play ball like a false narrative. I'm not I'm not

49
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: two forty six. How do the roster I mean, that's

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: what I was weaying last year, but I'm definitely not

51
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: that now.

52
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys behind you can do a

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: number of different things. How does that persatility? Open defense

54
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: helps a lot?

55
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: You know, when you have guys who can just move

56
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: around different different positions, guys like my pool Doug. All

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: of our safeties can play backers, so you know, it

58
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: definitely confuses offenses. And you know a lot of our

59
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: backers can play defensive end. Some of our defensive vents

60
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: can come off the ball, so that that definitely helps

61
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: and confuse a lot of people.

62
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Like the positionless offensive like the key bow not for

63
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: the fullback or is that a way to kind of

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: combat that? Definitely, Yeah, we definitely have a positionless defense.

65
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see Traddles season. What's the daughter. Uh,

66
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: it's been great obviously, I'm sure everybody heard that.

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: You know, he's maybe getting a head coaching job and stuff,

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 2: and you know, just I was staying in contact with

69
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: him throughout the whole course of the offseason and just

70
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: for him to come back. You know, I'm pretty sure

71
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: it means a lot to the organization, means a lot

72
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: to the linebackers, the defense as a whole, and most

73
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: importantly the team. You know, you want someone like that

74
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: around at all times.

75
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Whe I think when you work with him desisions really

76
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: it seems like he's head coach Patorian material, and he

77
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: has like kind of personality or kind of leadership.

78
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, Y, you can definitely you know, s feel

79
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: the energy when he walk in the room and stuff

87
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: the team.
