• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Watching the game film, what did you see from Joey
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: that he liked? And then what are some things that
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: he could probably improve on?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you know, he had some
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: clean pockets, you know, not discrediting what he did. It
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: was just you know, towards the end of the game,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: we uh, it was cleaner, a little bit cleaner. I
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: thought he did a nice job, but just finding the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: completions that were there, you know, not trying to do
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: too much and in all actuality, I mean asked Kim,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: he should have probably been one hundred percent the one
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: that was incomplete where he moved off his spot.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: You know, he can make that throw. So the movement
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: game is where we got to keep working one like when.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: He does get moved off his spot and has to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: break you know, break around or have a dirty pocket,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: still be able to find completions.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it was It was a good showing, Turtty.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Impressive for a guy to not really get a lot
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of reps in the week and then go out and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: do what he did in a game seven.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: They do get enough you know, throwing and catching, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: they get enough reps to like you look around the NFL.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's happening kind of everywhere, and so it's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: like that's kind of his job.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not discrediting what he did. It's just you.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Expect them in these settings to you know, complete the ball,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you know, and have more completions than incompletions. But I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: did think that like the one that was nice to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: me was like the rollout hits the sail route to Michael,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: like right on the face.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Like, to me, what stood out.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Was more the accuracy of the throws that I thought
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: were really impressive, you know, was the one on the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: touchdown to Payina where it was one two progression hitting
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: them across the middle in stride. Those are the ones
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that I was a little bit more. Okay, that's a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: real play. That's something that's going to continue to translate
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and we can keep building off of campus.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: This is kind of where you want to see those
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: combinations of lineups. You're really going to stress for week
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: one to kind of get that continuity.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like especially for the joint with Tampa and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: just getting those guys a ton of reps and just
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: trying to maximize these ops because we won't be in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: pads again until game week, you know, after this week,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and so that's the reality of just how things fall
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and where we're at. And we ended up having one
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: more padded day than last year's training camp.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: So it's you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Got to maximize these ops and the content. The continued
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: connuity in chemistry is so important that every single time
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: we step out here there has to be real intentionality
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and not just Okay, this is another training camp practice
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: like that, ain't it anymore?
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Guys?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You know, we're building towards something, we're sharpening our edge
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: towards something. And I thought, like Chris Rodriguez today, he
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: practiced that way, and you know, we got to continue
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to get guys to do the same.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Man that thing. How is he affective in terms.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Of yeah, we'll see, right, I mean, we'll have to see,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you know, how he takes to a whole new system.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: He's been in the same uh system, I guess you
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: could say, right being in Baltimore and then going to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: New York, that's kind of what he's known. Gonna have
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a pretty large learning curve, I would imagine in terms
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of some of the different things that we do versus
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: what he's been doing. But you know, Duo's duo mid zones,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: mid zone, wie zones, wide zone. There's just some details
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and tweaks and calls that are gonna be a little
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: bit different for him.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: But I mean, he didn't I didn't see him have.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Any issues today in terms of like getting up lined
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: up and just having no pre snaps or what's the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: play like? He didn't have any of those, and I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: was calling plays off the hook. I mean, there wasn't
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: all scripted, So he didn't seem to have any issues.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And you hope that somebody obviously with the size that
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: he has, that he'll be able to help us this year.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: What's the game plan for Cole throughout the course of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: his first week back?
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: All end of it?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So it'll just be an all individual to get some
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of that work. He's got walkthroughs, jogged through stuff, but
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: no team right now, no you know, putting them in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: those positions. So when we do that stuff, he's going
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to be with strength and conditioning being able to get
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: some of that work.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: In two days of joint practices to go back to
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: back days sit again, how different do.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: The two days of back to back?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: What do you do differently when you're going back to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: back it's just.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: A little bit trimmed on day one and two.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: It's like a little bit of a split almost from
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: what we did last week against Carolina. We just got
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to work through that and see where we're at in
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: terms of the health and all that for the second day.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But you know, we're going to talk to those guys
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and get a feel for where they're at as well
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: after their preseason game and get an idea. But it'll
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: be very similar in a lot of ways to the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Carolina joint in terms of the structure. It would be
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: more the second day that would be a little different.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Have a little bit more seven on seven, you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: some of that stuff. So you know, we're hoping to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: be able to get a good amount of work on
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that first day though.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Able to really go for the opener.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: If he doesn't get a lot of physical work, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: can't say that, No, I can't say that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would imagine the way he would
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: play football against Cleveland is if he practices the week
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of Cleveland. You know, like if he's able to practice
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the week of Cleveland and be able to actually feel
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: comfortable and feel fast and feel firm, then I would
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I'd be totally fine, but he's gonna.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Have to practice to play absolutely back to that edge
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: and building. Did you feel like you saw some of that?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Was it spirited out here Jordan Lewis Barker some of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff?
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was just asking Jay Luda, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: just play it clean, you know, and he was barking back.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: He was good.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I didn't think they came out here
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and approached it like with or you know, demeanor. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I thought it was good in terms of the energy
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and the guys having some competitiveness in the seven on
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: seven in the red zone, and it's it's always a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: little challenging, especially for the fronts to really go when
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you're in Spiders right, Like it's it's just did we
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: make that play?
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Do we not?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Do we block that guy?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Do we not? And there's so a little bit of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: gray when it comes to the setting. But I was
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: definitely pleased with the way that they actually, you know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: came out approached it, had good energy and had some
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: intentionality which would.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: You benefit from that year and Tapa looking.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Baker every day, Yeah, it was awesome.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Had a blast, you know, he made work a lot
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: of fun, every day. You know, having pre a little
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: bit pre existing knowledge of the system really helped. And
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: then you know, he taught me a ton in terms
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of what's sometimes too much, what's not enough, what does
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: he need? And everybody's so different, right, They're all like
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a golfer, the quarterbacks like they're all different our own ways.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: And just the competitive leadership that I really appreciated.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: And continue to learn from him.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: That he was very secure in himself to put it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: on him, you know, whether it was in a meeting
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: after the game in front of the whole team, in
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: front of the whole group, he would head, guys, I
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: gotta play better, I got to be better. It's you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it's just that stuff that when you see your best
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: player doing it and taking the accountability, that's something that
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: is a coach. You're like, shoot, man, Like, if he's
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: doing it, I need to do that too. So yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: excited to be able to see him this week.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Last year, you talked about your transition from being an
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: offensive only.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Coach to now a head coach and how at times
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: that could be you know, a.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Little bit frustrating.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: When you had the Dickerson pick, did you go back
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: to those old days when offensive coach or do you
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: find yourself excited about what he did?
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Almost got run over.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I was crouching kind of right behind the play and
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: almost got stampeded. So I was in a little bit
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: of a state of shock that Dicky was able was
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: making that play in terms of how the heck did
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: we end up here?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Uh No, I was not pleased, No kidding, I was.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: It was great to see, you know, like Dickie to
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: be able to go, you know, athletically make a freaking play,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and that's great for our team.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: It's great for our.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Defense, frustrating for the offense, frustrating for our screen game,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: but is.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: What it is. And I was excited. Yes, off of.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: That, I feel like not somebody who maybe gets overlooked,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: especially by the the outside world, the fans.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Perhaps how important has he been to this defensive line
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: rotation and how.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Important will he be moving on?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say a rock, but like he
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: is so consistent with the way that he comes out
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and hits blocks, the way that he strikes blocks, the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: way that he can play you know, firm at the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: point of attack. His hands are so heavy, like when
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you just shake his hand, you just grab his hand.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's so dense and thick, and he's violent
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: when he can be able to get to his hands
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and extension and shed. I mean, he's a strong, strong dude.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: And his journey is so impressive. It's such a great
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: learning op for so many young players that it's like,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: not everybody's a one through five draft pick and they
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: just you know, it's life's easy and their career is easy,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and they just make it like he had to work
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: really really hard to finally truly make it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: And so I'm glad that it's with us.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that he's able to call this place home
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: for now and he's making a huge impact for our
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: team the ball. What have you seen from a manual
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: now as we enter this final week to train.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this will be I think this will be a
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: good test. I think this will be a nice test
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Todd and their defense, they throw a lot of different
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: looks at you last week in Carolina and then you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: New Orleans was a little bit more of a similar
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: defense to each other. Less pressures, stunts, twists, movement, you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: So that was great to get him kind of going
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: now this is gonna be a little bit of a
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: test in terms of being able to you know, handle
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: all that the communication, the moving parts, the picks, the stunts,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the twists, the pressures. I think this will be a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: great op for us to be able to really work
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: with them and and and work through this week and
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: hopefully continues to ascend.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's had a nice camp.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I thought in the joint he showed up
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: in a major way in terms of like getting a
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: real you know, competitive.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Op to go.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that Josh he knows how to practice.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: So it's like he knows to not maybe if he's
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: going against the second offensive line and like to work technique,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: to work fundamentals, but also not to just like maybe
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: win beat the guy every single play that you know
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: you can, Like there's a balance to that. You want
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: to see these guys rec practice when we are good
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: on good, Like that's when I want to see you
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: wreck here, like go absolutely wreck practice our first group.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: If they can't block you, damn, we got better as
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a team. And so I think he's had a really
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: nice camp. I think he's excited for this kind of
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: season and this startup. I think he's itching a little
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: bit to get going, and I'm excited to see him
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: against Tristan this week a little bit and Luke Ettiki.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Both those tackles are good tackles.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: They've both gotten paid already, and this will be a
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: great test for our edge guys.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: We're in the last week of camp.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: For those guys who.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Are maybe battling for the end roster spots. Is there
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: something they can do to kind of swear opinion or
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: is it a result of everything.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: They built them?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's more of a result of the body work.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I think you always leave the the option open. And man,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: somebody comes out here this week and absolutely balls in
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the preseason game. And it could be somebody that's maybe
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: made a few plays already and that was ascending there,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: or maybe somebody that didn't hasn't made a ton of
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: plays in the first two first two games, or whatever
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: it is. And so you hope to be able to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: give these guys the opt to go do it. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you know, we're going to mix up some play calling
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: with some of the coaches in this game, which will
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: be great to get some guys some experience.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: But you know, these are.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: This is a big week for a lot of these
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: guys that are trying to make this team, and so
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: much of that also that evaluation is like can they
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: follow direction on a scout card? Can they do what
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: we're gonna ask them to do on the show team?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: And that might not have to always, that might not
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: always correlate with like making plays in the games.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Like if you.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Can't follow direction, do what we're asking you to do,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: practice clean and you know, still with developmental upside, Well,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: that's not somebody we're gonna be too juiced about having
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: on the scout team. And so that's a balance, you know,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: that's something that we've been working through and being able
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to evaluate throughout this whole training camp. But this week,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: like a daylight today, that's an op for us to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: be able to see some of these young guys. Can
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: they follow direction when we're asking them to kind of
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: give a look in a way.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Can they handle that? Or they can they not handle that?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: That's something that we have to continue to watch.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Thanks, guys.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: With with Anton making the switch to left tackle, you
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: guys have had your fair share of reps against one another.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: How would you evaluate Anton's performance at the left tackle
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: position thus far.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I mean's he's a natural athlete.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: So the adjustment period, the adjustment from my left and right,
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: he's picked up on it quick.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: And he used to be a left tackle from from.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: What I was told, So you know, he's picked up
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: on it really fast, and he's gonna be a great asset,
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: especially when Cole gets back in or whoever's out there,
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: he's gonna he's gonna hold that side really strong.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Will Yeah, that wave's a.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I guess he senses you're kind of the point you're
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: ready to get this thing going.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: You feel that oh yeah, yeah, you know af the
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: preseason two it's like, okay, all right, we got one more.
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: And then after this preseason and it's like basically it's
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: it's next time we go out here on this field.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: It's us and we're not stopping until you know, late
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: January or February January.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm ready to I'm ready to go.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: And you can just tell just by today being like
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: a little jogged through practice or it's like we need
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: to fine tune everything, like everything needs to look like
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: how it's gonna look weak one, Like all the little
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: little communication areas that you know, if we don't make it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: It's like that's overwhet, it's trying to lock in and
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: it's time to get this thing going.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's ready, you're o go ahead.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Just year two in camps defense, what is something that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you like about it and what's something that you personally
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: want to kind of improve on?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I know, yeah, for sure.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: I think it's just knowing how to no one expecting
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: what he's gonna call, you know, and just kind of
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: and kind of knowing why he's calling these plays, what's
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: the expectations of how the defense needs to be. So
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: it's just kind of knowing him as a person, knowing
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: him as a as a caller, and us as players
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: just how well can we just be our natural self?
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: And so for me, it's just like, you know, here
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: to call line up, be the best football player that
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: I can be, because at the end of the day,
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: that's what we up with football players, you know, all
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: that think and all that extra stuff that we do
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: as out the window, line up and let's go play
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: football the way we're supposed to be.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: What's the benefit of back to back of joint practices.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Is there anything you get more out of that them
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: two than just one.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: No, whatever they put on the schedule is what I
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: gotta do. So I don't know. We about to find
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: out actually next week.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Just deep in the gam what do you think of
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the four or five edge guys behind you?
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Young guys coming out?
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean they can come in and play
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: and make plays immediately, obviously. You know you can tell
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: just by putting on the tape. Man, we have a
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: lot of young guys that are proving themselves. Uh, it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: not a lot, it's not a lot of spots to feel.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: And so when you have a lot of great guys
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: that are playing good football, especially young guys, who's gonna
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: be that one or two guy that's gonna make the cut?
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: And all those guys are battling for that one or
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: two spots. But it's like that in a lot of
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: different rooms too. It's all like that in a lot
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: of different rooms as well. So you know they're coming
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: in with the right approach, and uh, basically, whoever plays better,
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: whoever is the better football player, is gonna make this
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: team basically. But they're all you know, can make it.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: I'm just excited to see what that final cut's gonna be.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna be upset to see what that final cut's
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: gonna be. And uh, you know, just gotta take it
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: the way it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Is after doing both over the years, I mean, what
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: is the value a day of a joint practice reps
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: compared the preseason maybe getting.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Cloud drives in there?
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's that, It's it's that, uh, it's that
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: mindset of going to get somebody else. It's like, you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: even when the first day paths, it's like the first
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: day of paths, we got to go you know the person.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: So it's just like for me, like I'm going to
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: be aggressive, We're going to set the edges, we're going
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: to be we're gonna go as hard as we can.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: But when it's somebody else, it's like I don't don't
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: don't like you, and I don't want to know who
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: you are. I don't want to check on your family.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: I don't want to see how you're doing out the here.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: Like I'm here to do what's being called at a
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: very high level and make the players that I'm supposed
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: to make. And so that's what type of energy and
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: that's the type of things we get during you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: doing these joint practice one on ones is you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: we go right, first thing we do at this at
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: the end, the right to one of the ones. Get
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: your mind ready. And for me, that's a good mindset
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: builder for me. Just just win, you know what I'm saying,
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Just win. Don't worry about teamn't worry about hardcount to
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: worry about. When you want, I want, and that's what
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: I like to do my best. So I can't wait
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: for We got a great team coming in and I'm
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: ready to go to ready to go to war with them.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Josh might down the line gave away your cleats, your
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: gloves to kids waiting for your autograph.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Why is it important to you to be able to
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: provide those moments to fans out of here?
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: I mean us as football players.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: For me, it's it's easy because you know, long story
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: short man, those are memories that they're going to have forever.
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: I keep saying that they can have. You know, whatever
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: they do with them is whatever they do with them.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: Some kids might chase them, some kids might lose them.
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: But for me, it's like if I can give a
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: kid an opportunity to remember something, and for me, I
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: can just go and equipment step and get another pair
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: So for me, it's like a pair of cleats that
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: I wear just because I want to wear them today
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: means so much more than one of these kids I
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: heard that. I'll look at them like I got a
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: piece of an NFL player, you know what I mean.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: So for me, the value and the connection that we
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: can have with our fans go deeper than just what
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: we see. For me, it's it's a piece of piece
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: of equipment. To them, it's wow, it's coming from this person.
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: So you know, and those are more moments I cherish
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: mom been together.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: A long time. Is there anything you don't know what
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: he's thinking at any point?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Like on the field, Like you guys so in tune
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: with each other at this point.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: So man, I mean, uh, what do you mean?
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Like if you're a situation, you know what he's thinking
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: on every single snap right at every moment on the field.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: You guys are sowing too.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Right, Uh? I would I would take it a little further.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: I would feel like I know what everybody's doing because
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: we got to know what the defense is about, we
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: got to know where I know where he's going to be.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you that, Like you know, we have.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: This one call I know I know where he's going
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: to be, So I feel like I know what everybody's doing.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: But I think I know what you're trying to get at.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: I think when we are rushing together, like kind of
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: playing off of each other, like I know how he's
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: gonna rush, Like like if he has a hot call
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: and he has the one on one and he wins fast,
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: I know I can rap under him, and he knows
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: if I take the inside, I know he's gonna wrap
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: over me.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: So the trust is there.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: I think we just build a trust throughout the years
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: and that allows us to play fast and know and
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: like if as soon as he hears something or see something,
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: he's gonna communicate to me, and I trust him. I'm
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: not gonna be like, I don't think you're telling the truth.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be like, I believe you.
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: I trust you. You know, I know you do the
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: film study. I know you're gonna trust your eyes, so
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: you know, I trust him when it comes to that.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: But I trust the whole defense when we go out there.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: You talked about knowing what everybody on the defense is
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: gonna do. Is that something that you emphasize or is
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that pushed by the coaching staff, And why is that important?
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's pushed by the coaching staff. It's pushed
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: by So it's about the It's a trickle down effect,
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: you know. It goes starts up top, goes to positional coaches,
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: goes to players, goes to the captains, goes to the players.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: And now it's like, if I know what the DBS.
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: Are doing in the back end, they know that I know,
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: so I'm gonna hold him to a standard of y'all
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: wasn't on your ship. I mean, y'all wasn't on your stuff.
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: And it's vice versa. You know, if the DBS are
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: locking everybody up, it should be a sack, you know
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: what I mean. If we're getting pressure, we're getting we're
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: forcing bad passes.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: It should be a pick.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: And we talk about this in film, like you know,
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: where's the safety rotations? This is the reason why we
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: do it, This is the reason why we communicate. This
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: is the reason why we slide when we're supposed to slide.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: You know, it's built on trust. And if we can
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: trust that everybody, all eleven people are going to be
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: where they're supposed to be, will be the best defense.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: In the world.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Now what kind of keep you.
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: Uh, personally, I mean it's a good camp. I'm ready
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: to get going. I think having that joint practice really
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: was like, dang, I really want to I really want
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: to like tackle somebody, or I really want to, like,
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: you know, rush the past. I want to see what
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: I can do full throttle. But I know it's like
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: I can't rush that process. You know, it's saying, it
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: is what it is. And we have a schedule for
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: a reason. We have Jordan practice for a reason. But
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: when the time comes when we played Week one against
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: the Bronze, you know we're gonna be ready to go
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: and be fired up just to put everybody else hopefully.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: That mean.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: What were your thoughts on the Matt Dickerson interception?
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: I love it, man, He's they got him twice. He
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: dropped one last time. No, the first one he missed,
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: absolutely missed. I didn't see it. Then the second hap
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: he got he dropped it, and now the third one
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: he picked it. You know, so uh, it's just cool
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: to see you know what I'm saying. And I wanted
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: to make sure I ran with him so I can
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: get out the next play. Uh but you know, shout
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: out to Matt Man. He's gonna he's he's been, he's
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: had a he's been having a heck of account.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: I'm excited. I'm excited for him.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: Uh Man, I think we're gonna be as stout as
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: ever upfront, and uh, I can't wait to get going again.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: This was about a month or so ago, but you
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: had the opportunity to attend a Sack summit over in Vegas.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: Although being a seasoned veteran, are there still things you
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: pick up on just being around the league's best at
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: your position?
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Uh? Uh. I think we all say the same stuff.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: That's the biggest takeaway that I can get from being
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: around those guys. And I'm at a spot now whereas
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm talking now like gods are coming up
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: to me asking me like what's your process? What do
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: you think about? How do you rush? Like what is
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: your mindset? So for me, it's more like an educator,
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: but also like we're all things that all the guys
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: are saying the same thing.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: It's just how are we approaching it? You know?
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: How is our routine outside the building. That's the only
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: difference that I could take from everybody else, but you know,
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: football football at the end of the day, and it's
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: very instinctual, and you know and those you know. Once
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: you line up, you get the call to play from
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: when the ball snaps to when the ball doesn't snap anymore.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: It's instinctual play football. And there's a lot of great
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: foot players and I'm blessed to be one of thom
