  Speaker 1: Oh guarantee, it could be it could be the heat.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Oh of course, of course I had to get two
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: feet in you balance out in factor gamba. Yeah, yeas. Um,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's tough. M My thing is I'm
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: gonna prepare and prep everything in the same way. Um.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like my thing is to make sure the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: young guys have everything theydeed possible. You know, this is
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a time where either I might get me a series
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: or two to work on steps, you know, hand placements,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you know, working on the cars. But it's also give
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: me a chance to help guys learn how to watch
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: feel the correct way, you know, learn tendencies, what you
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: should see if you see this formation, what could you
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: get out of it? You know. So I'm prepare for
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: this game like I with for any other game, so
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I can give the support that but young guys need
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: when they take to fail. Obvious man should have a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: more appreciated games. This more radicals trying to make a team.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: If it should happen to not work out, they go
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. There's that much more on tape if they can.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Of course, of course I told them to day, this
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is your opportunity to best showcase who you are. You
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: know your talents, you know everything you have to brain
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to her team. You know this, let me know that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: this team, this defense, it would not be the same
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: at the end of all this. But that doesn't mean
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: your football career is over. You know, you gotta put
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: your best foot forward, your best tape. You know, you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: gotta be able to put it out there so when
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you get an opportunity to another team, they already know
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: what you were capable of doing. So you know, we
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: all understand the business part of it. You know, we're
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: trying not to keep that a secret. Understand that everybody
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: can't make this team. We get that, But that doesn't
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: mean you shouldn't put your best film out there because
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna look for. And you've got to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: be the best person in locker room because coaches and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: other coaches talk to each other and you want to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: be that guy that you can depend on. It doesn't
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: matter if you're here or to another team. So, like
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I said, my main thing is a great way for
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: younger guys to showcase something. It's a great way for
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the vests to continue to learn how to watch film,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to be able to help young guys because you never
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: know what could happen in this league, and whoever's here
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: got to be ready for everything. So I feel like
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it all helps whether previous huge which wasn't very good, right,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It's just about that when you see the I pray
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the effective wine personality for this. Do you feel like
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the interception toll the next year? You're putting that question
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: on me? Yeah, yeah, guarantee. Guarantee is going to be
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: way better than last year. You know, the goal is
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to lead the whole NFL. You know, I'm taking it
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: definitely a point to myself to make sure I have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: every opportunity. I might not get the most opportunity on
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the defense, but the opportunity I do get, I want
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to make sure I make the best of them, you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And that's everything I continue to say. So, yeah, I'm
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: still out here trying to catch footballs every day. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it starts. It starts with me. That's how I feel.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You know, every time I make a play, I feel
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like it's someone else getting a pick. You know, I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: think about the first pick of the camp. I get one,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: then you know, you got Benji number thirty six, get one,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and then I get another pie to day, then you
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: come back rooty for I getna pick. They gotta start
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: with somebody, you know. I feel like Pitt's come at bunches,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: but someone you gotta get the first one. So I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: definitely put it on myself and it will be better
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: this year. So I definitely think we definitely will double.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But the goal is to be the best in the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: UH in the NFL. Second year for Tyson Campbell, obviously,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: what difference do you see in him this camp as
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: opposed to to last year. Maturity level, uh, confidence, being vocal,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it all shows. You know, it's crazy how
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: much you can learn in one year and uh, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it shows on him. His confident level is through the roof.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You know, he's able to line people up in positions
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: where the position that he don't even play, but he
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: knows the whole defense. UH. And like I said, the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: material level to state poise in every situation. We know
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: every player is not gonna be his best play, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: be able to snap back and get right back into
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it and play his best ball. That shows a lot
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and that's someone we can definitely depend on as you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a young leader in that group and UH, just a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: maturity level you just mentioned Benji Frank seems like he's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: around the ball out the man that that guy is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: really twitchy and that one thing when he breaks, he's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: gonna break on that ball and he's gonna get there
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and close fast. So I love the way Bench has been,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: uh you know, attacking this field, the way he's been practicing. Um,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he's definitely a sponge. He's not a person who feel
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like he knows it all. He's willing to learn, so
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I can't just say that about him. We got a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: really great rookie group in our room. Uh really, some
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: really great guys who's ready to learn anything, just soaks
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: up everything and they know they're ready for the opportunity.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what those guys do with
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: comingy needs, you know, the preseason games, and I'm room
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: for him. I know they're gonna put some some good
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: film out there. So bad. How much do you guys
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you want or feel like you need to play to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: be ready? Um? I know when you get that third
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: piece in the game where you kind of get a half,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: so I feel like that's more than enough. You know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you get a chance to first off, you know you
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: might start off a series. Maybe this game, I feel
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: like the main thing is focused on see in formation,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: being able to talk through each checks, uh, being able
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to get your foot and right, you know, if it's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: pressed or you know you're you're belling, whatever it is,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: your chance work your technique. I think that's a big,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: big deal. And then you know, you get to third
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: game where you play a little bit more. Now you're
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: gonna through situational ball, you know, you know more first down,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: second down, thirds down, you know, maybe backed up, maybe
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: reis one two minutes before halftime. So it's a little
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: situational things that we get a chance to see, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: know later on the preseason that I feel like it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: really helpful. And we had a time where preseason was
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gone due to COVID, so we've seen a difference from
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: not having it into you know preseason man back. So
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I definitely definitely agree to have preseason. That definitely helps
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the vests a lot more, just to get their feet
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: wet before the regular season starts. When you know, when
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you know how much better this defense is then last year,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: when would I know, well, I know that now if
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you actually definitely better than a year. Um, just the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: way we've been attacking the ball. One, the way we've
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: been communicating. Our communication is so much better. The trust
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: is so much better. And then you see the line
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is running around. It's so many times where even we
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: get to the ball, there's already sat before the ball
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: even came out. So that shows a lot. You know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like one thing about it. Our defense is
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: moving a lot faster. Our defense is well conditioned, our
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: defense is talking a lot more. Our defense trust each
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: other a lot more than last year. And that's why
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we're about deference than last year, done before. But just now,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: what do you look like camps Ford? How challenging. He's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: another quick, twitch guy, guy who canet off the ball
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: really quick. Uh it's kind of harder to get hands
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: on him, which is really well. So that's someone who
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I like going against, getting a chance of going against
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: some uh you know twice a year back in Seattle,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you know, to see him here being that guy, you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: someone we definitely need it because they don't matter who's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: going to get something, he's gonna he's gonna give you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: some good work. And that's the part that I need.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Like I said, a twitch guy, me being a longer
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: lengthy guy. I got a bit of move just as
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: fast as him. So that's someone who I definitely love
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: going against and he's gonna do some huge things for us.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for him sitting here. Oh man, he's been
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: He's been doing awesome with just taking control of this
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: whole team, you know, offense and defense. You know, he's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the reason why we want to go so hard, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: because I feel like the plays and stuff that we
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: give him it's going to make him so much better.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But the pois that he had to be able to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: take this team under his wing. Being so young. It's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: starting to show and I love that part. You know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: every day he's staying the same. You know, there's no
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: highs and no lows, and being the quarterback you gotta
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: kind of be that way. And he's showing that and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that a being so young, it's it's perfect to see
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: his mature. The level is definitely on the whole another level,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and I'd love to see that. You know, he's making
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: some plays that you know that it's going to be
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: really huge for us, you know, in this upcoming season.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So I'm definitely excited for him. I feel like he's
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: everything that we could possibly need on that offense as well,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: so I'm excited for him, So I appreciate you guys.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: All right, alright,
