WEBVTT - David Harris Conference Call (Player Report Day)

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>David, you guys played pretty well as a defense last

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>year's you know, statistically based on all the rankings. What

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.559
<v Speaker 1>are your expectations for this year? UM, I only need

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to improve. Um, obviously we didn't us. My goal was

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to make a playoffs. So I think as a defense

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>and had a team with thinking we all need to

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:22.959
<v Speaker 1>take it one step further and you do a little

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>bit better, David, when you come off a year like

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that where you almost get a chance to get in

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and who knows what kind of noise you would have made,

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know at this stage of your career you've

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 1>been very close a few times. What is sort of

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>your mindset knowing that you know, even though you know

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>you still have some time left for those years, and

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>those chances are kind of getting fewer and fewer obviously

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>every year. UM, I mean this is the NFL. You

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>can't take anything for granted. UM, you got to try

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>to win every year. UM, there's a last thing as

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>a reboot a year in the NFL, because that each

0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>years is valuable and or god myself who's been in

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it ten years. Um, these these opportunities may not come

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>around to me sometimes, so I can take advantage off

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>and when you can, David, how much does that does

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that loss to the Bills at the end of the

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>season still stay with you and some of the other guys.

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you think about it here and there, but

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously we did it. We didn't do enough to win

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the game and to to reach the playoffs. But you

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>can't use it as as fuel and motivation coming into

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>this year, UM, knowing how poor in every game is

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and don't you know you hate to be on that

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>side of of the of the loss, David. That's something

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>that that creeps in your mind today, especially just giving

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>that you know the first day you guys are getting

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>back at it a little bit, but there's more about

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>um seeing everybody again and meet the new new guys

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in the room. Um, there's a lot of phases this year,

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>so it's a lot of names to be to be

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>should be known and just uh again, you say right again,

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be back. It's kind of like the

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>war their school. I guess, uh, come up, come up

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>with a long break. UM. I know a lot of

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>guys who have been anxious to get back. Um, I

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>have to take it through and a half months off,

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>so starts a fun time of a year. David, what

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>do you believe or I guess because your partner there

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the defense. What are you expecting

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>from Aaron Henderson this season in a full time starting role?

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>He went to that position battle I think, I think

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>he has higher expectations than anyone else. Um, he's a

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>guy who has been the starting to leave U for

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>many years and and I started for him to continue

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.679
<v Speaker 1>play a high level. Um, he's getting an opportunity to

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.359
<v Speaker 1>to be started this year, and and I think he's

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>gonna do do it a phenomenal loom job at say

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>next to me, what are your thoughts on on not

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 1>all opting to not come to the start of the

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>ontary words. I mean everybody else talks Terry more. It's

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>more of the one of the best deers in this league.

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>And we all noticed the business is part of part

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>of the game. And hopefully he'll be here. But you guys,

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>he has to do with the best for him. David

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.799
<v Speaker 1>is a strange in that linebacker room right now. He

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.839
<v Speaker 1>had a lot a lot of turnover in your room

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>this year. Uh, just on the defense on the team period. Um. Uh,

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, it's letting to face this, Um, but

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>uh it's the first day. We all just trying to

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>get get to know each other and and uh like

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty much like this every year, the turnover, um

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>with the sadder gap in the NFL. It just you

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>get used to it after so many What do you

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>like not having Calvin there? I'm not gonna it's kind

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of weird. Um he's been here, uh eight of my

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>nine tees and and uh he was like my big brother.

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Not to my thing about it, but yeah, a little strange.

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>And I seen him in his room. David. Doesn't concern

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you that Fitzpatrick hasn't been signed yet? Um, yeah, especially

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>um after the good year you had last year for us. Um. Hopefully, um,

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>they'll be back. And that's all I can say about it. Um,

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>but uh, like I said, hopefully be back.
