  Speaker 1: And what do you want to see from that? Yeah?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I think, uh, you know, the biggest thing is you
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: get a chance to go against a different look, right, uh,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: A different presentation, uh, different guys. You know, we've been
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: going against our own guys now for about three weeks
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and I it just I it's just refreshing to be
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: able to have a uh a different perspective right from
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a quarterback's uh quarterback's eyes. So this would be good
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: for for not only uh Trevor, but.
• 0:50

  Speaker 2: the one that you know is the most famous right now.

  Speaker 2: Just exciting to see from a young player who you
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: know is competing and trying to trying to make a spot.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: How did he handle the reaction that You know what,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing I appreciate about Nate. He's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: just the same guy every day. He's humble, and he
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: comes to work to get better. And that's the way
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: he you know, that's the way he handled last week.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: What'd you like about eight.

  Speaker 2: and all the top edge dressers last year, and you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: know the way he came out and played and obviously
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: in our game last year and the way he you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: know what nine and a half sacks I believe last
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: year and just a great performance for a young player.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And and obviously the sky is the limit. He's going
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to continue to get better and and uh he really
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: makes that defense uh you know a little more a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: little more solid. With a good player, you've got to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: try it on, but to see to see what Aiden

  Speaker 2: and you know, we just want to get some good
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: solid work in and uh, and and you know, compete
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: against each other. I can't take somebody they did last
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: year offensively have added expected to have good test for
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you because next couple of days and Saturday, Yeah, you
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: know what this is. We're still preseason. We're still learning
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and evaluating. We're gonna practice a lot of guys. You know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't look back to last year. I mean,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: they got us, obviously, and it wasn't our best day.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: But this is a good football team, you know, a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: one that you know, I think is going to compete
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: in the NFC and and you know it's gonna be
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: good for us these next couple of.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Days at a treat game.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Is there something about that game that helped you guys,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you know, come together and turn a corner? Well, I
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: mean other than fact that you know, we didn't play
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: our best football and for whatever reason, it just there's
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: moments throughout a course of an NFL year where there's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: there's games, there's you know, uh, situations, it might be
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: it could be an injury to your team, whatever it
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: might be.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: That the kind of spurs a little.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Bit inside of everybody, coaches and players, and and obviously
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that was a that was a moment that wasn't our
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: best and and uh we we seem to kind of
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: figure it out from there.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And and and flip it, flip it around.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: After that, Yeah, I said, he's looking forward to seeing
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: his guys go up against your skill position players and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: his guys against your D line. Are there any areas
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in particular that vice versa you're kind of looking. I mean,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you know, we've got a lot of young secondary guys
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: taking away the you know, like Tyson Campbell, Darius Williams,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a starters. We've got some young young guys in the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: secondary that that we want to see against this this
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: caliber uh receiving group that that Detroit has, and and
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and sort of vice versa that way, And you know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: obviously up front, you know, we we know how you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the big guys are going to compete again, just our
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: offensive line against their D line and vice versa. I mean,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: those are all those are all things we want to see.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know, we're trying to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: get better. This is week two of the preseason, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: for both teams, and and uh, we're just trying to
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: get better and proove and and uh, you know, it's
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: still a long way before week one.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Physical a couple of days. But obviously you know told
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that line of reading.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Too physical, I mean, obviously today first day we're in pads.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: They're in you know, pads for today. And again this
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is it's not about you know, who's the tougher man.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: It's about getting good work in and there's it's going
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to be physical. I mean, that's just the way paddic
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: practices are. You know, our guys understand, you know that
