  Speaker 1: Teams, you're paying attention to him and they're chipping with
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: backs and tight ends. And last week the interior guys
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: had success and Josh did his part as far as
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: keeping the quarterback in the pocket for the most part.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: He'll just have to continue to do that and then
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: hopefully his played to come step up a little bit
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in order for the rest of the defense to get
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: better as a whole. I think so, I think a right.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: The message really this week has been raiser level everyone,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and Josh is one of our good players, and you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: need your good players to play good. So yes, Adams
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: rolling in this week, and he thought of having Tyson
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Campbell shadowing. Uh, we did a little bit last week.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Um this week we'll we'll just see how the game goes.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You know, it's all with the chance of doing it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But right now we're just trying to figure out what
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: they're trying to how they're trying to attack us, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: find out what our best plan attacked them is. Watched
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: he the go to guy. Uh, he's the guy that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: has great quickness off the ball, and he runs the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: entire rout tree and he's an athlete plan receiver. He's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a guy that I don't know him personally, but the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: way he moves, you can put him at any position
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and he wish to see he'd be successful. So that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: helps him out being a receiver. He's able to, you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: use this quickness, use the speed, and he can you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: catch anything close to him because the planes continue with
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the cornerback of rotation the way it's been the past
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: couple of games with Trey Herndon on the outside, Garius
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Willi'm staying in nickel that that's the plan. I think. Uh,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: other than one play last week, you didn't hear Trey's name,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and we go to it and he played some really
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: good plays, just like we all did, and one place
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: stands out. But you know, his heads up, he's confident,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We're confident in him, and he's gonna go back out
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: there this weekend, continue to play outside of the actual
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: plays he's made in the field to watch the smooth
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and he's played very well this year. Um, he's been
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: around for a few years and everything. What does meet
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: do one mean in terms in the locker room, in
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the meeting room on the sideline is is and his
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is a kind of a quiet leadership. He does he
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: he he really does in that room. There's a lot
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of vocal guys are in the vocal guy, but smooth
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: as a quieter guy. But he commands that respect because
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: one thing, he's been here for a while. The other thing,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: he's a good player to go out there and works
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in practice. You can see last week that you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they started jumping off the ball again and continued uh
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to work that early on in practice and it paid
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: off for him the game. He did a great job.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You can have stars, you can have all prose, you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: can have Pro Bowl guys and everything, but the backben
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of an NFL team a bunch of guys like the one.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Really when he plays, he's one of those elite guys.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that can get after the quarterback from
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: any spot and we just want him to continue to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: do that. You know, his chances have been limited so
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: far because how teams have kind of played us. But
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: now he's getting a chance to get out there and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: get more reps in. We'll get him going well. Tyson,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: show you last week against Cortland. I know Doug said,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you know he was shattering a bit more last week. Yeah,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: we we we shadowed a little bit, but Tyson he's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: been consistent all year. He's in position to make plays
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and you know, his target rate is pretty high and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: we like that. We feel comfortable with him guarding different
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: people and will continue to let him grow just as
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a good for his development oxided you see. Are you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to see him against Devanta this weekend? It was good.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Anytime you get a guy that's talked about is the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: number one person at a certain position, that should raise
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the hair on everybody's neck. And it's not just Tyson,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it's everybody because you know the team defense and we
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: understand that we have to press it the quarterback to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: make him get rid of the ball, so we don't
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: have to cover thong on the back end. So it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a team effort. But yeah, we're excited about it. Get
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a chance to go up against a really good one.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: You don't go against an offense that just got shut
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: out the week before. You go back and look at
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: what the previous team did again them. Do you know
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that they're gonna come with a little bit of a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder and try and rebound from that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: How do you approach that? I think every week is different.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You go back and you look at what the previous
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: team did. But you have your own identity. You're gonna
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: fit it to what you're doing. You know, anytime you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: lose a game that next week, you're hungry, ready to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: get back out there. So I know they'll be cutting
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: at the tea ready to get out there, and we'll
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: do the same. Right now, the top five rugger in
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the league. I know you say that. You guys heard
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it every day when you're playing at this division. But
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: just going up against a guy like that, knowing they
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: want to pound a football, what's your messages to the team.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's the same one, the same one. Again. We talked
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: about our division. We have guys that are similar, guys
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that can tote the ball, and he can tote it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Believe me, he can tote it and he's doing a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: great job this year. So again, just like our division,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we understand that that's gonna be the focal point. We
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: have to make sure our hats right, make sure our
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: minds right to go out there and here we can
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: swim down
