Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Is very a position to have on You're eager to
- 0:03Speaker 1: see both on their.
- 0:05Speaker 2: The A all of them. No, I mean, we're excited
- 0:10Speaker 2: to see the guys all go out there and compete.
- 0:12Speaker 2: You know, there's some really pretty contested battles, so we'll
- 0:15Speaker 2: find out a lot more after this week, So you're excited.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Group that maybe is a little bit more competitive because
- 0:20Speaker 3: there are so many good guys in it.
- 0:22Speaker 4: It's so deep.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like we got you know, are really good.
- 0:26Speaker 2: We got a good depth really at every position. So
- 0:30Speaker 2: you know, the linebacker room, there's been some moving parts,
- 0:32Speaker 2: some guys out with injuries, so new guys coming in.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I think Tim's done a very good job getting those
- 0:36Speaker 2: guys ready. That's obviously a room where guys are going
- 0:39Speaker 2: to be competing the DB's. I think some of the
- 0:41Speaker 2: young guys are really starting to come on and learn
- 0:43Speaker 2: it a little bit better. So we're seeing a little
- 0:45Speaker 2: bit more production out of those young guys as well.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Liam noted yesterday just with some of the attrition helped
- 0:50Speaker 2: in some of the groups you're getting.
- 0:52Speaker 5: You balance that knowing you want to get the ones
- 0:54Speaker 5: and two is good work.
- 0:55Speaker 2: On Thursday. You also want to see them healthy, but
- 0:56Speaker 2: also you want.
- 0:57Speaker 5: To see from those young guys on Saturday.
- 1:00Speaker 6: You also want to keep them help.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean part of this time of year is
- 1:03Speaker 2: you got to develop a callous and you know, guys
- 1:06Speaker 2: is gonna get banged up. Uh, it's what happens. Obviously
- 1:08Speaker 2: nobody wants that to be the case. But when you
- 1:11Speaker 2: go out there, you really need to see some good
- 1:13Speaker 2: on good action, you know, and playing the Saints I
- 1:16Speaker 2: think will be a great opportunity for us to do that.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:18Speaker 2: We expect the guys to be going full throttle when
- 1:20Speaker 2: we go in practice and you know, and give us
- 1:21Speaker 2: our best, their best effort when they get that out
- 1:24Speaker 2: there in the game. Year he has, Matt has done
- 1:30Speaker 2: a really really good job. I think even in the
- 1:32Speaker 2: offseason in his downtime he was out working with some
- 1:36Speaker 2: guys just getting better. He's come in he's really just
- 1:39Speaker 2: physically strong at the point of attack. So that showed
- 1:42Speaker 2: up and he's really he's a tough guy. He's really
- 1:46Speaker 2: what you what you love about our defense in terms
- 1:49Speaker 2: of he's always doing his job. It's important to him.
- 1:52Speaker 2: He's a great teammate. So I love coaching the guy
- 1:56Speaker 2: is thud hitting in a joint is different than.
- 2:03Speaker 5: In age.
- 2:06Speaker 2: I think. I think you're you're always coaching for it
- 2:09Speaker 2: to be the same thing. You know, how you enter,
- 2:12Speaker 2: if you're entering your foot, if you're entering great with
- 2:14Speaker 2: great pad level. Some of those things that sound like
- 2:16Speaker 2: they're cliche, you know, and things we've heard since we
- 2:18Speaker 2: were little kids playing pee wee football, like low man wins,
- 2:21Speaker 2: that's all real. So in the individual, that's who you
- 2:24Speaker 2: got to be training. And I think that when you
- 2:26Speaker 2: get out there against somebody else, anytime you're competing with
- 2:30Speaker 2: even you know, our offense, and we get an opportunity
- 2:33Speaker 2: to go compete in a joint practice. Right now, you're
- 2:35Speaker 2: testing that, so hopefully it's all the same thing. You know,
- 2:37Speaker 2: we're running violently through contact. The fight starts on contact,
- 2:40Speaker 2: so hopefully have like great leg drive throughout this next week.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Our joint practice is something that you've always gotten value
- 2:47Speaker 3: out of throughout your career, and you get you know,
- 2:49Speaker 3: they help you in the evaluation process here.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the guys get excited about it. You know,
- 2:54Speaker 2: anytime you're playing against somebody else, so that's what's exciting
- 2:56Speaker 2: about it. And then you know, just to see how
- 2:59Speaker 2: how everybody fair when the lights go on. That's that's
- 3:01Speaker 2: what's fun about it. For me, it was a little
- 3:05Speaker 2: bit better in the joint practice as far as getting
- 3:08Speaker 2: certain guys reps in certain situations. Is it better than
- 3:11Speaker 2: a game in that regard? In a game, yeah, maybe
- 3:14Speaker 2: maybe a preseason game, But in practice, I think we're
- 3:16Speaker 2: always trying to do that, even against ourselves. You know,
- 3:19Speaker 2: you're scripting who's in when, what you want to see,
- 3:22Speaker 2: and you're usually in communication with these joint practices with
- 3:25Speaker 2: the opposing team. Uh, just what the situations are going
- 3:28Speaker 2: to be so you can be prepared for that, uh,
- 3:31Speaker 2: and see how those guys show up in those situations.
- 3:33Speaker 1: What's your evaluation of Travis so far in his camp?
- 3:36Speaker 2: What he's done not a really good job. I think
- 3:38Speaker 2: he's taking a big jump. I think he spent a
- 3:41Speaker 2: lot of good time with Matt even off the field,
- 3:44Speaker 2: learning the system. Uh, just a little bit more fluid
- 3:47Speaker 2: for him, you know, easier uh for him to communicate.
- 3:50Speaker 2: I think he knows it a little bit better. Obviously,
- 3:52Speaker 2: we talked about his body physically. He's a different guy
- 3:55Speaker 2: right now physically, which is great. But I think he's
- 3:58Speaker 2: done a great job balancing both which in camp it's
- 4:01Speaker 2: a lot, you know, they are long days and they're
- 4:02Speaker 2: on both sides, and he's done a really good job compartmentalizing.
- 4:06Speaker 2: When he's with us, the communication has been good. And
- 4:08Speaker 2: I'm sure the same thing. Ebu would tell you the
- 4:09Speaker 2: same thing on offense.
- 4:10Speaker 1: How do you rank his ball skills?
- 4:13Speaker 2: He has elite ball skills, you know. The thing about
- 4:16Speaker 2: trav is obviously, as you could see even in some
- 4:18Speaker 2: of these practices, he can go up and tear the
- 4:21Speaker 2: ball out of the air. So that's advantageous for us
- 4:24Speaker 2: obviously defensively, and he's aggressive, you know, he goes after
- 4:27Speaker 2: the ball like a receiver. So that's what's exciting about him,
- 4:30Speaker 2: you know. And you saw a little bit of that
- 4:31Speaker 2: in practice the other day that he made a heck
- 4:33Speaker 2: of a play, honestly, coming off and coming out of
- 4:36Speaker 2: nowhere and tearing the ball out of the sky.
- 4:38Speaker 5: It's not a young film.
- 4:39Speaker 1: First they get a little overly aggressive and all that other stuff.
- 4:41Speaker 2: They be seen any of that out of him, and
- 4:43Speaker 2: you know, maybe in terms of his.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And getting out of position or maybe doing something he's
- 4:46Speaker 1: not supposed to do.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I really, I really haven't I think Matt Roujo has
- 4:50Speaker 2: done a great job with him, really with all those guys.
- 4:53Speaker 2: But one of the things they're doing, they're doing very
- 4:56Speaker 2: well collectively as a unit, as they're playing with really
- 4:58Speaker 2: good technique. You know, their discipline has been really good,
- 5:01Speaker 2: and that's an everyday thing, you know, you got to
- 5:03Speaker 2: work on it every day, and Travis has been pretty
- 5:06Speaker 2: vigilant with that as well, and I think he's done
- 5:08Speaker 2: a good job and it's helped them.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Expectations for Travis in terms of assuming.
- 5:12Speaker 6: He's probably not gonna play on Saturday, but expectations of
- 5:14Speaker 6: how you manage him in the joint practice setting, knowing
- 5:17Speaker 6: his elevated goal.
- 5:17Speaker 2: On defense this year, Yeah, I think I think that
- 5:20Speaker 2: a couple of things can come into play there, just
- 5:22Speaker 2: in terms of how many reps we're getting. But he'll
- 5:24Speaker 2: be out there, you know, just like you will in
- 5:26Speaker 2: the game, and we'll get him a bunch of work,
- 5:28Speaker 2: and I think it's a great opportunity for him to
- 5:30Speaker 2: get better. So excited to see him out there.
- 5:32Speaker 5: We'll show the matchup with him alive.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Tyson. Is that one that perhaps you guys talk about
- 5:38Speaker 1: with going into a joint practice do you talk about
- 5:40Speaker 1: the markete names that you could be going up against.
- 5:41Speaker 6: No.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I think right now you're really doing is you're just studying,
- 5:44Speaker 2: you know, the opponent, what they do situationally, trying to
- 5:46Speaker 2: get the guys prepared so they can put their best
- 5:48Speaker 2: foot forward and play with good situational awareness. You know,
- 5:51Speaker 2: whether that be hey, what is this team doing? Shortyard
- 5:54Speaker 2: is what do they do in a backed up situation?
- 5:56Speaker 2: What are they and you know second and long. So
- 5:59Speaker 2: that's really what we're been in the lion's share of
- 6:01Speaker 2: the time one with our guys, just getting them ready
- 6:02Speaker 2: for the joint and for the game.
- 6:04Speaker 5: DJ Green described him and Danny Stragao as the other
- 6:07Speaker 5: guys in this defense, the plots, there's.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Josh Travon and then where the other guys? So have
- 6:12Speaker 3: you heard them reference that before?
- 6:14Speaker 2: I haven't. I have, That's the first time I've heard that.
- 6:16Speaker 2: But uh now I think everybody, Uh, those guys have
- 6:20Speaker 2: really stepped up and they have a huge role in
- 6:22Speaker 2: our defense. There are two guys that love the coach
- 6:25Speaker 2: and they played the right way, you know what I mean.
- 6:28Speaker 2: They're they're really steady guys and guys you can count
- 6:31Speaker 2: on to do their jobs. So They've developed a lot
- 6:33Speaker 2: of trust and and love and appreciation on our side
- 6:37Speaker 2: of the ball for the way that they play.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Can you see kind of the undrafted ship on their
- 6:41Speaker 1: shoulders show up during these.
- 6:42Speaker 6: Practices and games.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those two guys who have always had that.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I think we've had a couple of guys who are
- 6:48Speaker 2: like that. You know, we're udfa's that we kept and
- 6:50Speaker 2: played a much last year. You know, Branch is one
- 6:53Speaker 2: of those guys too. We have guys who've stepped up
- 6:55Speaker 2: in that role. So I think that's a good thing,
- 6:58Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And one of the things
- 7:00Speaker 2: that's great about playing for Liam for these guys is
- 7:03Speaker 2: you know, he don't care where you're drafting. He doesn't
- 7:05Speaker 2: care when you got picked up, where you got picked up.
- 7:07Speaker 2: The guys that are playing the best, the guys that
- 7:08Speaker 2: do their job. You guys have played the toughest. They're
- 7:11Speaker 2: going to play, you know, and whoever can help us
- 7:13Speaker 2: win is going to get the op And those guys
- 7:14Speaker 2: are proven that I think to some even for some
- 7:16Speaker 2: of the young guys that have come in this year.
- 7:18Speaker 5: Another guy that was in that UDFA class was j Obarmahammat.
- 7:21Speaker 5: I need talked about him in the spring, but what
- 7:22Speaker 5: have you seen out of him over the last two
- 7:24Speaker 5: weeks or so?
- 7:25Speaker 2: Same thing. I mean, I think he's got a good
- 7:26Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder too. He's really taking in all
- 7:30Speaker 2: the teaching that Matt is bringing to him. There's some
- 7:33Speaker 2: things that fundamentally I think he's really gotten better at
- 7:37Speaker 2: and that doesn't happen unless you're totally bought in and
- 7:40Speaker 2: you're doing it every day. You know, it's a muscle
- 7:42Speaker 2: memory game, and Jabbar, probably as much as anybody on
- 7:45Speaker 2: our defense, has developed, you know, from where he was
- 7:48Speaker 2: at this time last year in camp to where he
- 7:50Speaker 2: is now, he's just done a lot of really good things.
- 7:53Speaker 2: You know, he's been a good football player for us.
- 7:55Speaker 2: So to your point, another guy who's a UDFA you
- 7:58Speaker 2: know who's shown up for us. I think Cam when
- 8:02Speaker 2: we're a safety, same deal, right, He's He's been a
- 8:04Speaker 2: guy that's been really really detailed and everything he's done,
- 8:07Speaker 2: and he's been out there and played in games for
- 8:09Speaker 2: US as well. So that's been rewarded here and I
- 8:11Speaker 2: think that's a great thing. It speaks to head coach.
- 8:13Speaker 5: Jabar had a rep. I don't remember exactly what today,
- 8:16Speaker 5: but it was against Tanner Quoz, who he is like
- 8:19Speaker 5: six seven, I think something like that, and he goes
- 8:21Speaker 5: up and makes that PVU does that just kind of
- 8:23Speaker 5: say where he will compete no matter who it is.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the competitiveness of the guy. You hope
- 8:28Speaker 2: those situations show up in practice. You hope they show
- 8:31Speaker 2: up in a game. For guys you know where it's
- 8:33Speaker 2: we say this all the time. There's gonna be five, six,
- 8:35Speaker 2: fifty to fifty balls in the game and one guy wins.
- 8:37Speaker 2: You know you got to beat the other guy. You
- 8:38Speaker 2: go five and oh six and all on os. On defense,
- 8:40Speaker 2: you're gonna limit big plays and you've got a great
- 8:42Speaker 2: shot to win the game. But that's what's gonna happen.
- 8:44Speaker 2: You know, you can't let the receiver make a play
- 8:46Speaker 2: on the ball in the air, right, We're not trying
- 8:47Speaker 2: to give up any yak, right, So if they get it,
- 8:49Speaker 2: it's got to be expensive they catch the ball, and
- 8:52Speaker 2: obviously the ball can't go over ahead. So those are
- 8:54Speaker 2: really tenants and commandments for those guys in the past game,
- 8:56Speaker 2: and he's taking it to heart. He's a competitor. When
- 8:58Speaker 2: the ball's at the point of attack.
- 9:00Speaker 6: With the preseason approaching and the death in your defensive room,
- 9:03Speaker 6: what are the specific traits that you look for when
- 9:05Speaker 6: deciding what goes into making the final cuts for your group.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we love guys that are competitive first
- 9:12Speaker 2: and foremost, you know what I mean. They're out there,
- 9:14Speaker 2: they're competing. You know, Job one is whoop the man
- 9:16Speaker 2: and that's their job, right The guys that do that
- 9:18Speaker 2: every play, Guys that you can trust, Guys that love
- 9:21Speaker 2: to play football right sore team first guys. That's really
- 9:24Speaker 2: how you develop a culture on defense, you know, And
- 9:27Speaker 2: I think we have a lot of guys that fit
- 9:29Speaker 2: that mold here. At the end of the preseason, we're
- 9:32Speaker 2: gonna have a tough deal because we're gonna have to
- 9:33Speaker 2: cut some guys we really really like and some really
- 9:35Speaker 2: good football players. And that's you know, that's a good thing.
- 9:38Speaker 2: That's a sign of having the right people in the building.
- 9:40Speaker 2: But it doesn't make it any easier, you know. That's
- 9:42Speaker 2: why these these preseason games, guys are gonna be going
- 9:45Speaker 2: all out and some of these joint practices they're important
- 9:47Speaker 2: for these guys and we're trying to treat it that way.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Is there a betef last story. Joint practice on the
- 9:52Speaker 1: road is over a joint practice here. Is there anything
- 9:55Speaker 1: more you get out.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Of it on the road?
- 9:57Speaker 2: I think maybe just operationally, you know, maybe guys get
- 10:00Speaker 2: a little downtime to hang out together. There's not much,
- 10:03Speaker 2: but even operationally going on the road as coaches, getting
- 10:06Speaker 2: all that stuff situated and kind of getting through that.
- 10:08Speaker 2: It's a good try out run from when you have
- 10:10Speaker 2: these road games and you just gotta be prepared for
- 10:12Speaker 2: that and it gives you the op to do that.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys.
- 10:15Speaker 5: Appecially into week two of camp. You guys have joint
- 10:19Speaker 5: practice tomorrow. Just how has the startup camp been for
- 10:21Speaker 5: a year.
- 10:22Speaker 4: It's been really good, man. It's just awesome to come
- 10:24Speaker 4: out here and be able to compete against our teammates
- 10:27Speaker 4: and a defense like we have, you know, have a
- 10:29Speaker 4: really good defense. So it feels like you're getting better
- 10:31Speaker 4: every single day at something. And it's good to come
- 10:34Speaker 4: out here and continue to build the chemistry with the
- 10:36Speaker 4: guys as well. So super exciting stuff and excited to
- 10:39Speaker 4: be out here.
- 10:40Speaker 5: Do you feel older now? I mean, you're on your
- 10:42Speaker 5: second contract. You have two young guys who are just
- 10:45Speaker 5: drafted this year. Does it feel like you're older in
- 10:47Speaker 5: this league?
- 10:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a little bit for sure. I feel
- 10:52Speaker 4: like I'm just now like getting into my prime for sure.
- 10:55Speaker 4: But yeah, I definitely feel older. You know, different things
- 10:59Speaker 4: pop up or maybe the rookies will say something that
- 11:01Speaker 4: I would have said last year being a rookie. So
- 11:04Speaker 4: there are times moments that they make you feel old.
- 11:07Speaker 4: But nah, I feel like I'm just going into my
- 11:09Speaker 4: prom I feel like I'm just getting started.
- 11:11Speaker 5: Like a are those two guys gonna help you?
- 11:14Speaker 4: They're gonna do great things, and they both have, uh,
- 11:16Speaker 4: very unique skill sets, and uh, I feel like they're
- 11:18Speaker 4: both very talented players. You know, Nate he does a
- 11:22Speaker 4: little bit of everything, and then you see Tanner out
- 11:24Speaker 4: here making plays every single day in the passing game,
- 11:26Speaker 4: and it's special that way, being able to, you know,
- 11:29Speaker 4: just go up top and get the ball. So, uh,
- 11:31Speaker 4: both of those guys are super talented and special.
- 11:33Speaker 6: Do you see traits in Nate the money of you
- 11:36Speaker 6: at all?
- 11:36Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, like just that he wants to do
- 11:39Speaker 4: everything and he wants to be involved in everything. And
- 11:41Speaker 4: I think that's the most important thing. You know, being
- 11:43Speaker 4: a football player is and then blocking especially, it's just
- 11:46Speaker 4: being willing and being willing to put your head in there.
- 11:49Speaker 4: And uh, he definitely has that. He doesn't have any fear,
- 11:52Speaker 4: and that's very impressive, cause you know, it's a lot
- 11:54Speaker 4: going on as a rookie, and these guys coming out
- 11:57Speaker 4: here playing Josh Allen Trayvon uh might might startle some people,
- 12:01Speaker 4: but you know, you can really tell who somebody is
- 12:04Speaker 4: when he comes out here and does what he does.
- 12:06Speaker 1: He get a sense this offense he's gonna be even
- 12:08Speaker 1: more explosive than.
- 12:09Speaker 4: It was last year. Should be. I mean, that's that's
- 12:12Speaker 4: the goal, you know. So, uh, that's why we're out
- 12:14Speaker 4: here every single day, and that's why we're coming out
- 12:16Speaker 4: here and putting the work in uh just tryna fix
- 12:19Speaker 4: things from last year and better approve on those things
- 12:21Speaker 4: and uh to continue what we're doing. So it should
- 12:24Speaker 4: be for sure.
- 12:25Speaker 3: You and Tonio gout here at the same time kind
- 12:27Speaker 3: faced each other with a ton of practice over the years.
- 12:28Speaker 3: How have you kind of seen you know, iron trumper
- 12:30Speaker 3: on him between you two.
- 12:31Speaker 4: And your growth together. Yeah, that's one of the things
- 12:33Speaker 4: that I look for the most to in practice every
- 12:35Speaker 4: single day. Is one of the ones with him because
- 12:37Speaker 4: not many guys play like him, Not many guys have
- 12:39Speaker 4: the link that he does at his position. So I
- 12:42Speaker 4: I know every single time I'm going out there, I'm
- 12:44Speaker 4: getting better. Uh they uh saw they posted a little
- 12:47Speaker 4: cliff and everything. Uh, but you know, I I I
- 12:51Speaker 4: enjoy coming out here and competing against Antonio cause I
- 12:53Speaker 4: know if I'm playing against one of the best.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Obviously, we always ask you about Parker cause you guys
- 12:59Speaker 5: came in together when Stack together. Just what he's doing
- 13:02Speaker 5: right now, How special is it to just see him
- 13:04Speaker 5: finally get that spotlight in that stage.
- 13:07Speaker 4: I mean I would say here for sure, spotlight and stage.
- 13:11Speaker 4: But uh, Parker's never changed. He's always been the same guy. Uh.
- 13:15Speaker 4: That stuff I saw, uh, you know, just social media wise,
- 13:18Speaker 4: him coming in working, and that's always been him. And
- 13:21Speaker 4: uh he is the star player that he is because
- 13:24Speaker 4: of the work that he puts in. So uh, no
- 13:26Speaker 4: surprise by me. I've been seeing it for the past
- 13:29Speaker 4: however many years. But yeah, it's just it's just on
- 13:32Speaker 4: this stage now. So nothing different for Doug.
- 13:35Speaker 6: I can't recall the uh the exact time, but we've
- 13:37Speaker 6: heard previously this offseason, Liam saying with Tanner and Nate
- 13:40Speaker 6: in the building. It opens up a larger receiving role
- 13:42Speaker 6: for you. Have you felt that intention being put into
- 13:45Speaker 6: use this offseason.
- 13:46Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. I Mean there are some plays I was
- 13:48Speaker 4: just telling, uh him over there, there's some plays last
- 13:50Speaker 4: year that I wouldn't even have to pay attention to,
- 13:52Speaker 4: Like you know, you hear your certain part of the
- 13:54Speaker 4: play and it's like alright, like I I I know
- 13:56Speaker 4: what to do, but like now, like I have to
- 13:58Speaker 4: pay attention to everything like going on in the play
- 14:00Speaker 4: call and uh even in meetings just learning others, like
- 14:04Speaker 4: mostly a tight end is gonna run some tight end
- 14:06Speaker 4: concepts and there's gonna be some receiver concepts, and just
- 14:09Speaker 4: learning all the concepts and making sure I'm doubting on
- 14:11Speaker 4: those because if it's thirteen or maybe if if you
- 14:14Speaker 4: if it's even eleven and I'm in a different spot,
- 14:16Speaker 4: you gotta know what it is. So uh yeah, definitely
- 14:19Speaker 4: having to pay a little bit more detail and attention
- 14:22Speaker 4: to things.
- 14:22Speaker 3: We yeah, lead and pointing out you and Parker, the
- 14:25Speaker 3: guys who Trevor has been with the longest out of
- 14:26Speaker 3: pass catches. Do you feel that chemistry that years and
- 14:29Speaker 3: years are kind of.
- 14:30Speaker 4: Performing it out you have a party field now, yeah,
- 14:32Speaker 4: most definitely. I mean I feel like I can go
- 14:34Speaker 4: up to Trevor with anything and you know, ask him
- 14:36Speaker 4: the question or just uh that I have his trust.
- 14:39Speaker 4: You know. That's that's the most important thing is you know,
- 14:41Speaker 4: coming out here and earning your quarterbacks trust every single day.
- 14:44Speaker 4: So uh, I I feel like we have that, and
- 14:47Speaker 4: I d I just love to continue to build upon
- 14:49Speaker 4: that and to continue to get better, cause we've done
- 14:52Speaker 4: some great things, but you just only wanna keep getting
- 14:54Speaker 4: better every single year.
- 14:55Speaker 5: I assume the tougher the game, the more you like it.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Do you like got Chris Rodriguez?
- 14:59Speaker 6: Oens?
- 15:00Speaker 4: I love Chris Rod? I love I love Sea Rod.
- 15:02Speaker 4: He gonna get downhill and he gonna he gonna run
- 15:04Speaker 4: somebody over and you know in those short yardage y
- 15:07Speaker 4: uh situations sometimes last year. Not saying anything about anybody,
- 15:12Speaker 4: but that's just the type of back that we need.
- 15:14Speaker 4: You need a back like that, and uh, you need
- 15:16Speaker 4: somebody that's gonna get downhill and get those dirty yards.
- 15:18Speaker 4: It's all about the hidden yards. Can you get plus
- 15:21Speaker 4: two on contact? You know? And see Rod does that.
- 15:23Speaker 4: So he's a special guy and I can't wait to
- 15:25Speaker 4: see what he does this year for us.
- 15:26Speaker 1: How much does Liam preach that stuff about the extra
- 15:29Speaker 1: yards and rushing yards over expectation. I bet he throws
- 15:33Speaker 1: us at out.
- 15:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 15:33Speaker 1: See you guys are ton right.
- 15:35Speaker 4: Yeah, situational masters, you know, UH, S team meeting, whatever
- 15:38Speaker 4: it is. We always harp on those things at details.
- 15:40Speaker 4: UH that's what wins football game. So UH hitting yardage,
- 15:43Speaker 4: whether that's in special teams or whether that's in offense defense,
- 15:46Speaker 4: whatever it is, you always tryna fight for that cause
- 15:48Speaker 4: you never know when it can come up. And that
- 15:50Speaker 4: be the difference the city was.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Gonna have you run some different routes maybe in this
- 15:54Speaker 1: camp that you hadn't run before.
- 15:56Speaker 4: MM.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Did you like that? And what was that like for you?
- 15:59Speaker 1: And what were maybe s some of the spots that you
- 16:01Speaker 1: were in that you had.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Been in before.
- 16:03Speaker 4: I love it, man, you know. I I always tell y'all,
- 16:05Speaker 4: I pride myself on being able to do anything. H
- 16:07Speaker 4: I played a lot of different positions growing up. I've
- 16:09Speaker 4: done a lot of different things on the football field.
- 16:11Speaker 4: I I'm a I'm just a football player at the
- 16:13Speaker 4: end of the day. Like put me anywhere on the
- 16:14Speaker 4: football field, i'm'a try to make it happen and do
- 16:17Speaker 4: the best of my ability. But you know, uh, just
- 16:20Speaker 4: probably more of thirteen this year. Uh, different routes and
- 16:24Speaker 4: eleven personnel and and things like that. Y'all. Y'all see
- 16:27Speaker 4: during the season, it'll be nice.
- 16:29Speaker 6: What do you think of all the the poop lah
- 16:31Speaker 6: outside of here but throughout the league.
- 16:33Speaker 2: About the emphasis on thirteen personnel because.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Of what the Rams did last year.
- 16:37Speaker 4: I think they did great things. You know. Uh. Obviously
- 16:39Speaker 4: we were in London and we played them in London,
- 16:41Speaker 4: and sad to say for us, but they they had
- 16:44Speaker 4: a really good game and they had some really good
- 16:46Speaker 4: schemes and concepts, and uh, I it's just the ability
- 16:49Speaker 4: to be big and if they bring out base personnel
- 16:52Speaker 4: being big or maybe you wanna, you know, get wide
- 16:54Speaker 4: on 'em when you got three athletic guys that can
- 16:56Speaker 4: stretch the field. So uh, it just gives you the
- 16:58Speaker 4: availability to do something and uh, something extra for the
- 17:02Speaker 4: teams to game plan.
- 17:03Speaker 2: For big picture independent of the personnel usage.
- 17:06Speaker 6: How did that Rams game affects the trajectory of the
- 17:10Speaker 6: rest of the twenty twenty five season and now the
- 17:11Speaker 6: twenty twenty six Jaguars.
- 17:13Speaker 4: MM. I think you know that was our last game
- 17:15Speaker 4: in London, right, I think it it left a bad
- 17:17Speaker 4: taste in our mouth coming back home, and uh, you know,
- 17:21Speaker 4: you just you wanna come back and you wanna give
- 17:23Speaker 4: the city something to be proud of at the end
- 17:25Speaker 4: of the day. You wanna put your best product out
- 17:27Speaker 4: there every single day. Uh, That's what we worked for.
- 17:29Speaker 4: And I think it just left a bad taste in
- 17:31Speaker 4: our mouth. And uh a good start coming home the.
- 17:34Speaker 5: First of three different joint practices, uh tomorrow. Just kind
- 17:38Speaker 5: of what's your mindset going into.
- 17:40Speaker 4: N Just be me, you know. Uh, I wanna play
- 17:43Speaker 4: my best, I wanna dominate, but just be me. It
- 17:45Speaker 4: ain't nothing else to it ever, you know, Just play football.
- 17:49Speaker 4: I've been playing football my whole entire life. Have fun
